Nature, Literacy, and Curiosity: An Educator's Perspective on Inquiry Learning
This week, I’m joined by the insightful Edwina Cottino, an Early Childhood educator. Her teaching journey has taken her from Dubai to Perth, blending her background in Applied Psychology and Education with a passion for inquiry-based learning.
With over a decade in the Pre-Primary classroom, Edwina has seen firsthand how kids thrive when they explore their interests. Inspired by mentors like Dr. Claire Warden and Kath Murdoch, she champions a balance between structured literacy and numeracy instruction with the magic of project-based learning.
