Nurturing Forests: graduation

Welcome to my blog about my experiences working in early childhood. I have called it Nurturing Forests because I believe that raising children is not a isolated activity but takes a whole community.

As early childhood professionals, we are actively involved in this process but we also need to work closely with the children, parents, community as a whole and other allied professionals.

I hope you enjoy my site. I also have a facebook site of the same name where I provide links to useful sites for teachers, parents and others interested in the early childhood: www.facebook.com/nurturingforests

Graduation!!!

After underplaying it all week, I graduated with my Masters of Teaching (birth to five years) today and it did feel really good.

I was very proud to see girls ( or should I say women) that I have met over the years in both undergraduate and postgraduate studies walk down to get their pieces of paper.

The speeches were lovely and short but still inspirational and meaningful.

I agree with the Chancellor that we now have a responsibility to go forth and apply our knowledge and benefit our community.

I also agreed with our guest speaker, Professor Kevin Wheldall, AM, that we have a obligation to the children we teach to teach them using methods proven by research and scientific study.

I look forward to watching us all work in and influence the very important field of early childhood.
