I have been a classroom, learning and support, EAL/D and Visual Arts teacher. Also I am a practising artist. I am always looking for creative ways to stretch my classroom budget. My home is Sydney, Australia and I feel privileged to have been able to work full time in education. Here are some ideas I'd like to share with you. I would love you to follow my blog and share your thoughts also!

Ken Robinson...well worth listening to
British education expert and author Ken Robinson believes schools should place greater value on children's creativity and their capacity for innovation. “We don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather we are educated out of it,” he says in the TED 2006 talk. In his speech he called for creativity to be given the same status in education as literacy. “We have to rethink the fundamental principles on which we are educating our children.” I think we have come a long way since 2006, but still have a journey ahead of us.
