Services offered
Professional learning – through active and interactive processes, groups of educators learn new ways of thinking, being and doing.
Workshops can be offered as single sessions or as spaced learning, in-person or on-line. Spaced learning enables educators to “chew the elephant one bite at a time”. Spaced learning mirrors the inquiry-led, play-based, learner-centred approach of the EYLF.
Inquiry-led workshops are offered as a three day, in-person event for individuals in January, April, July and October at The Art Creatives Studio in Balcatta.
Community engagement – through discussions, games and simulations, parents, families and the wider community explore topics such as play, SchemaPlay, guiding children’s actions, improving conversations with children, and dealing with loss.
Organisational development – through creative and critical thinking frameworks, owners, board members, leaders and managers are supported to create visions, goals and plans, articulate values and build commitment to negotiate the volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous world in which they are operating.
Focuses include visioning, values, strategic and operational planning, managing neurodiversity in the workforce, developing cultural competence, focusing on what matters, developing emotional intelligence, developing critical and creative thinking, and moving from information to knowledge to innovation.
