Stop Asking "Why Are They Doing That?"

One of the biggest challenges educators face is understanding what children's repeated behaviours are telling us.

Schemas provide the missing link.

When educators understand schemas, they begin seeing learning differently. Instead of redirecting children's interests, they can use those interests to strengthen engagement, learning, and curriculum planning.

This course helps you identify common schemas and understand what they reveal about children's thinking, learning, and development.

Learn From Someone Who Has Walked In Your Shoes

Hi, I'm Michelle.

I've spent more than 20 years working across the early childhood sector as an educator, teacher, service leader, regional manager, consultant, trainer, and mentor.

Throughout my career, one thing has remained true:

When educators understand the "why" behind children's behaviour, everything becomes easier.

Schemas are one of my favourite topics because they help educators move from frustration and uncertainty to curiosity, confidence, and intentional teaching.

My goal isn't to give you more paperwork. It's to help you better understand children. Because when we understand children more deeply, quality practice becomes easier to achieve.
