Enrolled & Ready To Make Your Planning Easier  

Fantastic! Let's Begin Simplifying Your Planning Cycle...

Hi , I'm so glad you could join us in this course and I know you will find it helpful to your role so let's begin clarifying and simplifying the basics of early childhood programming and documentation so you can save some time and feel more confident with your planning and programs.


This is your Programming Made Simple For Educators Course Homepage where you can choose a Learning Session from the lesson menu bar (to the side if on a computer - tap the lines to drop down if using a mobile device).


Each learning module has it's own lesson pages so you know when you have completed all the lessons for that module. Make sure to click the 'I'm Done Here' buttons at the bottom of the workshop video pages as you progress for an easy way to move to the next page and lesson.

Please begin with Learning Session 1 - Workshop 1 and proceed through the sessions and lessons until you reach #5 - I advise not to skip ahead as the lessons all connect with each other. 

You can work your way through the course at your own pace and come back as many times as you need to watch all of the lesson videos. 

Make sure to click on the green buttons under each video to download the applicable module handouts and/or tools for that lesson. Choose what is helpful to you - there is no need to overwhelm yourself by trying to use everything at once!

Hi, I’m Jodie - an early childhood educator, mentor and blogger. I have worked in many different roles across the human services, family services and early childhood professions over the past 35 years so it's likely I have already walked in similar shoes to your own. I know what is helpful (and definitely NOT helpful or useful) to educators because I am one too. I  enjoy supporting and mentoring thousands of educators every year through my popular website The Empowered Educator and practical blog posts, activity ideas, factsheets, free e-guides, online training, membership hub, e-courses, Facebook community, webinars and e-books.
