Clair Wain

Speaker Summary

For over twenty years Clair has worked in international and British schools in Africa, Asia, the US and in the UK, where she has had the opportunity to take on different roles and to develop her practice as a reflective and effective leader and teacher.

Clairs pedagogy is based on the interweaving of theory and practice, and she has been inspired by the Reggio Emilia Educational project as well as early childhood pioneers, such as Friedrich Froebel. She believes in the natural curiosity of children, their limitless imagination and power for learning.

Clair encourages children to explore, wonder, discover and to ask questions to search for meaning through their experiences and in their surroundings. I have experience with the PYP framework and the Reggio Emilia Inspired Approach as well as English National Curriculum. Currently she is the ECE Coordinator and ECE Librarian at an international IB school in Shanghai, China.
