A little about me...
Hi, I'm Jode! I am a Mum in Australia to 3 girls - twins Ruby & Tara and my adult daughter Ashleigh. And I love the possibilities of early learning!
I'm passionate about helping educators simplify their documentation and planning and also enjoy more time engaging with the children in their care through simple play based activities & environments.
I enjoy creating blog posts, free tools and easy to use resources and training for educators, leaders and coordinators by drawing upon my 30 years experience in this profession.
I know what support educators really need because I have walked in your shoes. This profession is challenging enough so I aim to simplify not overcomplicate! My resources walk through the basics so you can take action.
The Facts.....
Thanks for placing your trust in me....

FOR CRITICAL REFLECTION
To get started with a simple yet ongoing critical reflection process use this
Empowered Ed guide and template tool to help you regularly identify and
explore your own thoughts, feelings, and experiences and then set simple
goals that will help you take small steps to improve, change or perhaps re-
examine your current practice, perspectives, thinking and skills.
Your reflections might highlight areas you would like to learn more about,
understand better or find different ways to approach that practice. You
might also choose to seek out conversations and feedback from other
educators, mentors and colleagues. Follow the steps below to get started!
www.theempowerededucatoronline.com
Add brief reflections on day to day practice to your weekly or fortnightly
programs throughout the month. You can reflect daily or weekly.
At the end of the month identify 1 area from your plan that you would like
to reflect on & learn more about with the aim of contributing to your
professional & personal development. Choose more if you need to!
Add them to the reflection tool & fill in the spaces that meet your needs.
