This dynamic webinar by Dr Michael Nagel and our Walker Learning Consultant examines through presentation slides, video, expert panel discussions and audience Q&A on how to create engaging and meaningful environments that promote and sustain children’s learning through play.

This PD is split into two manageable sessions of 3 hours each over 2 consecutive days. Dr Michael Nagel, Associate Professor, Teacher and Academic at a leading Queensland university will be presenting on the first day. Dr Nagel is one of Australia’s foremost experts in the areas of cognition & learning in human development, early learning and neurological development in children & adolescent psychology.

At the end of his session, he will be joined by our Walker Learning consultant for an expert panel discussion and audience Q&A. The final hour of the first day will be devoted to Walker Learning environments. This will be picked up again on the second day where our Walker Learning consultant will explore:

  • Considerations for design, set up, materials and equipment

  • Supporting children to resource their own learning
  • Planning for ongoing modifications
