Andrea has been nothing short of amazing! She has worked with our school staff to create writing cycles that engage and excite the students right across the school. During this time, staff were captivated by hooks, writer’s notebooks and reflection tools which have now all become everyday practice within each classroom.

She helped our staff see the need for change in how we deliver our maths lessons to help our mathematicians develop a deeper understanding of a variety of concepts.

As a respected educator, Andrea has worked collaboratively with our staff to assist in the planning of engaging Mathematics lessons which cater for the diversity of our learners. With her practical advice, our teachers have developed the confidence to differentiate tasks by providing low-floor, high-ceiling learning opportunities. We feel extremely privileged to have collaborated with Andrea and have highly valued each, and every, opportunity we have had to work with her.

Andrea has been the backbone of professional learning at our school for many years, across all curriculum areas. Whether it be from improving teacher content knowledge in place value, to unpacking mentor texts in Reading and Writing or investigating skills through Inquiry, Andrea has always provided highly engaging and practical professional development, tailored to our school’s needs. Her ability to integrate department initiatives and align this with our local area requirements, as well as her ability to work with a variety of key staff from leadership, all the way through to graduate teachers, is second to none.

Andrea has worked with school leadership to delve into data and challenge our thinking, and then identify professional learning needs which has then been delivered in engaging whole staff curriculum days and targeted learning with PLCs and small groups. Her ability to successfully model with students the very strategies discussed in professional learning is always a highlight! I look forward to continuing to learn from such an inspirational professional!

Andrea challenges our thinking and leaves us with very practical and actionable steps to move forward.

We initially planned to have her for a day but her inspirational and down to earth approach has meant that we had to have a longer-term relationship with her. Her focus on practical easy to implement ideas is an experience that our teachers rave about! I would highly recommend Andrea to any school looking to implement new, innovative ideas that are proven to work!
