We have just sent out the first certificates and listed our very first staff who have become accredited for implementing the Walker Learning Approach. I am quite moved emotionally when I think of these particular staff, who for a number of years have worked so hard to continue to provide the very best teaching and learning for young children. these staff have worked above and beyond what would ever be expected. Some of these staff have worked where other educators have not encouraged or supported them, often almost worked in opposition to what they have been doing.
the results speak for themselves now. Wonderfully happy children, engaged and motivated children, increased oral language, reading and writing improvements and happy parents.
It is also amazing to witness the Victorian State government actually providing a new framework for the early years that places an emphasis upon active engagement through planned play as part of the teaching and learning that needs to occur for all children in their first 8 years of life.
Great times and my personal congratulations to those staff who have just become accredited .
