Stratigos, Tina: - Tina Stratigos is a Lecturer in the Sydney School of Education and Social Work at the University of Sydney. Drawing on her experience as an early childhood teacher and researcher, Tina is committed to supporting future teachers to become confident and knowledgeable practitioners, leaders and advocates for pedagogy that supports very young children to flourish. Central to this is an interest in the role of professional experience placements in initial teacher education and how pre-service teachers can be supported to make connections between theory and practice in the real world and in early childhood settings. Tina's teaching and research is also influenced by questions about the impact of digital documentation technologies on how educators plan, implement and communicate curriculum while building meaningful partnerships with families.
