Our story together, began in one of the largest primary schools in Victoria where 2 teachers literally knocked down a wall to bring their classes together and share their knowledge.
In the years that followed, our classroom teacher experience highlighted the value of supporting students to have a positive relationship with learning and to build on their prior experiences.
We then began our journey into leadership, as Leading Teachers, we led Professional Learning Communities through the use of current data to support the growth of every student across the year level.
We further cemented this knowledge as Whole School Numeracy Leaders where we were able to extend our impact even further, to reach the 70 teachers working in the school. We soon realised we couldn’t physically be in every classroom as regularly as we would like, but we could have a lasting impact in planning. This is where our passion for collaborative and research based planning began.
In 2016, NJ Education Consultants was officially born and we began supporting schools across Melbourne and regional areas. We support teachers in schools through on-site tailored coaching, consulting and through online professional development.
In this role we continue to deepen our knowledge and understanding as we apply our coaching to a range of settings.
Being experienced educators, we have an understanding of the day to day pressure on teachers, this inspires us to think innovatively about how we can engage teachers in professional learning. We aim to empower teachers to focus on the right work and give their students the best possible maths experience they can.
As educational professionals we feel our work is far from done. Our passion lies in reaching as many teachers as possible to realise the power of meeting students at their point of need. We strive to empower teachers to support students to grow up with a love of maths and a drive for curiosity.
