We are a small group of education consultants who specialise in Early Childhood Education, Literacy and Playful Learning. Based in Adelaide, South Australia, we have national and international experience in supporting educators in early childhood and primary (elementary) settings to provide rich, engaging, playful and authentic learning environments.
Our passions and interests include:
- Belief that each child is born a powerful learner and that the richest learning experiences build upon this
- Authentic, meaningful childhoods for all – with the right to play, to be included, to be listened to
- Nature play and the need for humanity to be connected with nature
- Playful learning in all its forms: tinkering, making, messing about, bookmaking, loose-parts…
- The need for education to focus on intellectual, dispositional and wellbeing goals rather than an over-focus on the ‘academic push-down’
- Writing Workshop, Inquiry Approach to Spelling, Independent Reading
Lisa Burman launched this consulting company in 2008 and continues to lead and guide our thinking and work as we expand.
