Lisa has a breadth of knowledge and experience in education and understands childhood is a critical time for development, learning and wellbeing - in cognitive, social, emotional, neurological and physical domains. Lisa’s presentations and publications, highlighting synergies between the fields of early childhood, wellbeing science and nature pedagogy, are grounded in literature and based in practice, combining theory and strategy for educators. She advocates that meaningful relationships, wellbeing, and wellbeing literacy are integral to positive education environments and that respect for the capabilities of children be prioritised in order that they flourish. Lisa is also an enthusiastic, creative and flexible practitioner, eager to share wisdom, stories and evidence-informed ideas from her experiences on the ‘front line’ of education. With many years of teaching practice, Lisa is also aware that wellbeing of educators is crucial to quality pedagogy. As a member of the Wellbeing Literacy and Language Research Stream and Melbourne University’s Centre for Wellbeing Science, Lisa has a particular interest in the development and application of the capability model of wellbeing literacy. She has contributed to several book chapters on wellbeing literacy and is interested in its conceptualisation in early childhood education pedagogy and policy.
