 About the series

Room to plan, document and reflect your way

Your planning, documentation and reflections hold the thinking behind your program. Reflections of an Educator gives that thinking somewhere to live: open, illustrated pages that follow the way you work, whether you write, mind map, sketch or collage.

Each book works on its own or alongside the others, so you can start with the one you need most and build from there.

Since then, we have purchased these for every staff member and Educator every year. We love them and they have contributed to our Family Daycare Service being rated as Exceeding TWICE!

"I love it! I just love my personal reflections book. It has so many inspiring pages and I love how I can individualise each page. I love getting it out and colouring and drawing, oh yeah, and reflecting, Hee Hee. Seriously, I love it. Thank you." Janine J
"Back on track! I’d gotten into such a funk with paperwork, it was such a chore and so very overwhelming. I just needed a tool to help organise my thoughts and create some better habits, and here I am feeling so productive. My time management has improved ten fold and I am able to feel the passion again! Thank you ESRE!" Danielle T

"Best diary ever! This document is easy to purchase and as you choose which pages to print, you have control over how your journal is out together. I would recommend this to many teacher friends in the future." Alicia N

 Our story

The story behind the books

Reflections of an Educator began with one aim: to give educators a blend of structure and creative freedom, in books they look forward to opening every day.

Phoenix Support for Educators created the series with our friend and colleague Gaby from Sticks and Stones Education. Today the books are used by educators across Australia and overseas.
