About this workshop series

About our facilitator, Judith Price B.Ed., Dip. Teaching (Primary), Dip. Teaching (ECE):

Judith is a Ministry of Education accredited facilitator with over 30 years experience in the education sector. She brings a wealth of leadership experience supporting schools and early childhood centres design systems to improve and grow teaching and professional practices.

Judith is very much a ‘hands on’ person and a strong advocate for firstly understanding theoretical components and then being able to apply these strategies in a practical sense within the learning environment.

She is committed to developing others to their full potential and very passional about guiding teachers on their ‘life-long learning’ quest.

“I find myself constantly pausing. I often ponder on what we could do more effectively if we are to position our tamariki as 21st Century learners able to navigate a world that will be totally foreign to many of us.

I am a lover of learning, an avid reader and a chronic over thinker! I like to engage those who are interested in deep dialogue so that we can create new ways of working that are going to stretch the status quo and bring about change, for a better world.”

Meeting of Minds

“Phillippa facilitated a meeting of minds. I enjoyed the informal setting as it allowed for small group and whole group discussions without fear of judgement. These discussions helped critique strategies and activities and improvements and variations were suggested for practical purposes. It was awesome!”

Passionate & inspiring

“As always, Julie's passion for mathematics shone through and she motivated and inspired me to want to take it back and try it in the classroom.”

Motivational

“I found the simplicity of the activities and the integration of science, technology and maths particularly useful. Ben prompted and encouraged responses of rich vocabulary. His enthusiasm was very motivating considering science is not my strength! I also appreciated his commitment to tikanga Māori.”

Extremely Practical

“The Maths workshop run by Julie Roberts was wonderful. In two hours we learnt (and played!) many great games and activities for use in the classroom. All of the activities can be differentiated for different age groups and abilities and require minimal materials which made them extremely practical. I will definitely be attending more workshops like this one.”

Ideas for the Classroom

“Such a fun and enjoyable morning! It gave me lots of ideas to use in the classroom. The course leader was really experienced and had a realistic understanding of the challenges of a day in the classroom.”

Purposeful & Fun

“EP provides short, practical courses to assist relievers in their classroom practice, which require limited resources but are purposeful, fun and of educational benefit. Great value for money.”
