Hello,
My name is Zoey Wicks and I have been a teacher for almost 8 years. Over the course of my relatively short career I have learned so much and wanted to find a way to share my knowledge, ideas, research and experience with others. I studied a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) and have taught Prep, Year 1, and a combined Year 5, 6, 7 class. I am currently undertaking a Master of Early Childhood degree and am continuing to learn so much that I hope will help inspire other educators. Early Childhood Education is my passion and I love teaching young children.
I am a reflective educator, constantly questioning why I choose the philosophy, pedagogy and practices that I implement on a daily basis and I am critical of how I approach teaching. This is one of the main areas I’d like to highlight through writing this blog. After discussions with many of my colleagues, I have come to the conclusion that teachers are very time poor, thus, I’d like to make linking research and practice easier through the use of infographics and short blog posts to keep teachers up-to-date with evidence-based practice examples. Thanks for joining me on this mission and I look forward to collaborating with other passionate educators along the way.
