 PAT EDGAR (B.Ed, M.Ed.)
"I believe that if educators are to instill a love for learning and knowledge in their students,
they must be on a continual path of learning themselves."
My yearning for more learning began when I decided to complete a Senior certificate as a mature age student in the seventies. This was followed by a Bachelor of Education in the eighties and a Master Education in the nineties whilst teaching full time in Bayside State Schools.
I continue to build on my knowledge of language and literacy through attending conferences locally and internationally, subscribing to professional associations and actively participating on the local council for the Australian Literacy Education Association.
After fifteen years teaching in all primary year level classrooms, training and teaching in Reading Recovery, and having positions as Literacy Coordinator and acting Deputy Principal I opened this successful consultancy in January 2001.
On a more personal level I have been married to my husband Des for over 35 years and have three beautiful children and at this time, one fabulous Grandson. I am thankful for their encouragement and support of my passion for teaching and learning.
