🌟Did you know I love to run in person PL?

I’m currently booking in-person professional learning for schools and teams wanting practical, engaging literacy PD that teachers can use immediately in their classrooms.

My workshops focus on:
📚 Functional grammar through authentic texts
🔍 Inquiry approaches to literacy learning
💬 Critical thinking and rich classroom discussion
🖍️ Using diverse picture books to teach writing and language
🧠 Building teacher confidence with grammar and language knowledge

Every session is hands-on, curriculum-connected and designed to support both teachers and students in meaningful literacy learning.

Available for staff meetings, curriculum days, conferences and tailored school workshops across Australia.

Send me a DM or email to chat about how I can support your team 💛

This makes my heart sing!

A story changes when a child can see themselves in it.

These editions of The Very Hungry Caterpillar in First Nations languages create connection, identity, and belonging.

Every book in our Book Supply packs is chosen by Communities, for Communities because when Communities lead, kids engage more deeply.

Just 20 books in a home can make a powerful difference to a child’s future. And when those books reflect their own cultures and languages, the impact goes even deeper.

Help us raise $500,000 before 30 June and be part of the Book Supply Story.

✨ I’m so excited to share this upcoming professional learning event with ALEA featuring the incredible Jessica Vance! ✨

If you’re interested in inquiry learning, visible thinking and creating classrooms where student thinking is documented, valued and revisited, this session will be full of practical inspiration.

Jessica will explore how learning walls can become much more than classroom displays — transforming into interactive spaces that:
📌 Capture authentic student thinking
📌 Encourage curiosity and questioning
📌 Make learning visible over time
📌 Support evidence gathering and reflection
📌 Build deeper student engagement through inquiry

I know so many teachers are looking for meaningful ways to document learning while fostering rich classroom conversations, and this session offers powerful ideas you can take straight back to your classroom.

Love this!

What.a.day! Such a privilege to share my findings from my fellowship at the .official symposium today.
Abbotsleigh was an incredible venue! I mean... just look at the library (in the video).
It was so great to connect with so many librarians and chat about our libraries and how we can improve them.
It was also brilliant to connect with a bunch of online friends in real life.
I also won the lucky door prize! 🍾

Massive shout out to Teacher Librarians!
They know their communities so well. What a brilliant bunch of people. If you have one in your school, what a lucky school you have. 💕
