The Walker Learning Approach in Australia.

As an Australian teacher in Switzerland for the last four years, it has been challenging to keep abreast of new programs and pedagogies that Australian teachers are using in their schools.

Linchpin.

Why become a linchpin? When you bring value to your work, you not only get more enjoyment out of it, and will notice that others begin to follow in your way, you will also show your boss or your boss’s boss how important you are, leading to more opportunities and growth.

Are you afraid of the big bad puddle?

All my training took place in an institution, with the goal of implementing what I’ve learned within the four walls of a school. Meanwhile, there has always been this other teacher (nature), ready and waiting, beyond those walls to take on that teaching role and let children learn freely and with joy.

Joy in the classroom through “us time”.

What if we … scheduled times to have a laugh and simply get along? The students in my class experience joy when we play games together. They also love to share, and in these moments, we all grow as a group and develop a positive culture.
