Metabolism

​

Part of my role as a health advocate involves education. With my teaching background I am able to facilitate interactive talks and presentations for a wide variety of audiences and professions including, teachers, families, community groups and allied health professionals to name a few.

 

Previously I have presented:

• staff training on children's well-being promoting Experiential Education based on the work of  Dr Ferre Laevers

• a paper at a Reflect Respect Relate (RRR) conference around children's well-being and involvement 

• staff training on guiding children's behaviour promoting the principles of a Guidance Approach based on the work of Dr Louise Porter

• a paper at the 15th Annual Conference of the Australian Research in Early Childhood Education (a.r.e.c.e) for the Faculty of Education, Monash University, Peninsula Campus regarding cycles of professional change and principles of adult learning.

 

I have also been involved in:

• the Start Right Eat Right programme 

• promoting healthy eating among children and adolescents through the Women's and Children's Hospital

• Kidsmatter Early Childhood programme 

​​

I have also co-authored:

• 'Educators make a difference' in EQ Australia, Autumn 2007, pp. 23-24;

• 'Using the early years framework (EYLF) to promote learning through music' in the Educators’ Guide to the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia',  pp. 93-102

• an example for the the Reflect Respect Relate (RRR) training package.

​

Consequently, I am available to speak on a range of topics, especially healthy living and eating, tailoring the information to suit your needs.
