🔥 MUST-LISTEN for educators everywhere! 🔥

Continuing our April focus on the brain, prepare to have your understanding of learning environments completely revolutionised by Dr. Kathryn Murray, creator of the  'Brain Set Environments' programme and CEO of Future Strong Education.

Building on insights from Dr. Shyam Barr in Episode 24, Dr. Murray unveils the powerful connection between classroom design and brain function, transforming education worldwide. With 40+ years of expertise and her own miraculous brain injury survival story, she shares how thoughtfully crafted spaces can dramatically change children's behaviour, engagement, and learning outcomes—often within DAYS of implementation.

Educators implementing her approach report astonishing results:

• "The CALM that descended on my classroom after just a few tweaks was unbelievable"
• "Children stayed engaged for TRIPLE the time"
• "The beautiful HUM of productive learning replaced the chaos"
• "It gave us breathing space, actually to observe and connect with children"

Discover the science-backed 'S-E-T' framework (Survival, Emotional, Thinking) that explains why traditional classroom setups often trigger stress responses in children's developing brains. Learn why sharp corners, cluttered spaces, and poor wayfinding create 'foggy brains' incapable of deep learning.

Walk away with immediately actionable strategies to:

• Create 'defined spaces' that dramatically boost security and engagement
• Use wayfinding principles that eliminate anxiety and increase independence
• Select colours, materials and layouts that support optimal brain functioning
• Design environments that naturally develop self-regulation and resilience

As Dr. Murray powerfully reminds us: 'If the flower is not blooming, you don't do something to the flower. You do something to the environment.'

Stop struggling with behaviour management. Start creating spaces where children's brains naturally thrive!

April 2025 is Brain Month with my podcast, For Your Ears from the Early Years. ' Starting with this fantastic interview with Dr Shyam Barr, I will be releasing other podcasts and articles focused on how we can maximise learning by supporting children to learn about how their brain works to support their learning. 

In this illuminating episode of 'For Your Ears from the Early Years,' host Lili-Ann Kriegler welcomes Dr. Shyam Barr, an educator and researcher specialising in self-regulated learning and metacognition. Dr. Shyam, author of Educate to Self-Regulate: Empowering Learners for Lifelong Success, shares his journey from science teacher to educational leader and researcher, revealing how his perspective shifted from "teaching science" to "teaching young people how to learn science."

As a Professional Associate at the University of Canberra, Shyam bridges the gap between research and classroom practice, drawing on his experience as both a secondary school teacher and an educational leader. His contributions to education have been widely recognised, with the Australian Council for Educational Leaders (ACEL) selecting him as a New Voice Scholar for Educational Leadership Research. At the same time, The Educator listed him as one of the Most Influential Educators in Australia.

This conversation examines recent research that demonstrates the significant impact of metacognitive interventions on young learners, with effect sizes indicating substantial educational benefits. Dr. Barr introduces his "living room of the mind" metaphor, comparing metacognition to watching television from a couch and controlling it with a remote, thereby making complex cognitive concepts accessible to both educators and students.

The discussion highlights practical classroom applications, including innovative strategies such as the 'golden retriever' memory metaphor and traffic light confidence indicators, which help children as young as three and four develop metacognitive awareness. Dr. Barr delves into fascinating research on the sustainable implementation of metacognitive approaches, revealing key organisational factors that determine whether these approaches become embedded in school culture or remain isolated practices.

Whether you're an early childhood educator, a teacher of older students, or a parent interested in supporting cognitive development, this episode offers valuable insights into how we can help young people become more aware of their thinking processes and develop the skills to control them—essential abilities for academic success and lifelon

This March, we explore the Arts in early childhood education with Anne Belcher, a music educator with 20+ years of experience who founded Branch into Music near Ballarat after discovering music's soothing power on her own baby.

Anne explains that every child is born musical and shares her "musical tree" framework with five essential branches: keeping the beat, singing, playing instruments, movement, and listening. She offers simple, accessible strategies for educators of all skill levels to incorporate music throughout the day, emphasising that you don't need to be a professional musician to enrich children's lives.

Music develops cognitive skills across multiple domains—steady beats support early literacy and reading skills, nursery rhymes build vocabulary and memory, and activities like using Frisbees as instruments develop mathematical concepts through patterns and sequencing. Music naturally integrates numeracy through counting beats, making learning feel like play rather than formal instruction.

At Federation University, Anne teaches pre-service teachers that "making music makes us happy," creating a foundation for learning and meaningful relationships. During COVID lockdowns, she adapted to online teaching, reaching more educators and children than ever.

Anne shares that children respond to sounds from 16 weeks of gestation, with their mother's heartbeat being their first musical experience—an innate musicality that any educator can nurture, regardless of perceived musical ability.

For Your Ears from the Early Years - Episode with Rosemary Paul

In this moving episode, host Lili-Ann Kriegler speaks with Rosemary Paul, an early childhood educator from Lagos, Nigeria. Rosemary shares her remarkable journey into education, beginning with her experience of caring for her ten younger siblings at age 16 after losing her mother. Now an experienced educator, she offers profound insights into early childhood education in Nigeria, where traditional views often clash with modern educational approaches.

Through heartfelt stories and practical examples, Rosemary illuminates how she uses play-based learning to reach every child, navigate cultural differences, and build trust with families. She discusses the challenges and opportunities of teaching in Nigeria's diverse cultural landscape, where three major languages—Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo—intersect in the classroom.

Particularly touching is Rosemary's description of using traditional games like 'Ayo' to teach mathematics and her passionate belief that "play is the father of children." Her innovative approaches to teaching and unwavering commitment to understanding each child's unique needs showcase the transformative power of culturally sensitive early childhood education.

This episode offers valuable insights for educators worldwide about patience, cultural awareness, and the universal language of play in early learning. Whether you're an educator, parent, or simply interested in understanding how early childhood education operates in different cultural contexts, this conversation will inspire and enlighten you.
