Welcome to my blog

Here begins the chronicles of my journey through a masters degree in Health Education and Active Living. A testament to my own pursuits of health and wellness and my endeavors to engage individuals and communities in re-framing the way we understand health and health education.

And then sometimes life takes you on a very different course of events!

I know it's been awhile, but my blogging was interrupted by a move across the world to Australia. Despite being more than a little disruptive to my career, schooling, and view of health; my move down under has provided me with an abundance of new challenges and exciting journeys in Health, Health Education, & Public Health. So on that note, I'll pick back up my blogging torch and fuel on.

Making my way back into Early Childhood Education


Jennifer Fane - Flinders University


I have greatly been enjoying my role as an Associate Lecturer in Health Education here at Flinders University. But when a course came up in the Early Childhood degrees program that needed a topic coordinator, Early Childhood Health and Physical Education, I jumped at the chance to combine my two areas of expertise into a teacher education course. This particular course enjoys a partnership with a Childcare Centre on campus, allowing the students extra hands on teaching opportunities with young children in childcare settings, and allowing for extremely authentic student assessment tasks.

As the newest member of the ECE team, I was featured in a Q & A in the latest edition of the Early Childhood at Flinders University newsletter. Here's a link to the newsletter, and the Q & A is on page 4.
It's been great to be welcomed by the excellent and supportive ECE team here at Flinders, and I look forward to my continued involvement in Early Childhood Teacher Education both on and off campus.
