January intensive

Blending inquiry with explicit teaching

In 2025, I was joined by early years educators from all over Australia presenting professional learning for the Early Life Foundation.

The Interactive Walker Learning session was an engaging session on putting Walker Learning into action. I explored how schools can create a clear implementation plan that meets all state and national curriculum requirements for explicit instruction while embedding play and inquiry-based learning. This session was part of a full day intensive program.
