    Season One: Episode Six: Responsive Leadership - Listening to the Voices of Educators and Children

    Episode Description:

    In this insightful episode of For Your Ears from the Early Years, we welcome Dr Helen Schiele, a distinguished educator with over thirty years of experience in early childhood, primary, and tertiary education. Dr Schiele began her career at Brunswick East High School in the 1980s and has since become a key figure in shaping early learning in Victoria's independent schools.

    Her work characterises Dr. Schiele's commitment to culturally responsive and inclusive education. Her current role involves providing governance, compliance, and curriculum guidance to early learning programs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she was critical in supporting families in the Flemington Towers, many of whom faced significant challenges during the lockdowns.

    With a PhD in education, Dr. Schiele shares her philosophy on authentic leadership, understanding children’s lived experiences, and her efforts in designing child-friendly learning environments. She also reflects on her extensive career and the impact of her work on students, educators, and communities.

    Join host Lili-Ann Kriegler of Kriegler Education as she engages with Dr. Schiele about advocacy, inclusion, and leadership in the early years.

    Podcast Intro:

    Welcome to another episode of For Your Ears from the Early Years! Today, we're thrilled to introduce you to Josh Candy, the founder and director of Early Years PE, who is a passionate advocate for transforming physical education for our youngest learners.

    With over 15 years of experience in sports coaching and a BA in Physical Education, Josh has dedicated the last seven years to revolutionising how PE is perceived and implemented in the early years. He emphasises the importance of physical literacy, recognising that foundational movement skills are just as vital as academic skills in a child’s development.

    In this episode, Josh shares his journey, from what inspired him to create Early Years PE to how he’s making an impact by intertwining the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) with imaginative and fun PE sessions. He skillfully balances structured activities with opportunities for free play, helping children develop holistically while laying down a lifelong love for movement.

    Please tune in to hear about Josh’s innovative approach, explore the current challenges in physical education, and learn how his methods set children up for healthier, more active lives. Whether you're an educator, a parent, or simply passionate about early childhood development, this episode is packed with valuable insights and inspiration.
