The Essential Educator

This world first is the most innovative teaching package ever produced for childbirth and parenting education. Comprehensive and thoughtful, this Kit has been compiled by Andrea Robertson, a parent education consultant with 30 years of experience in working with expectant parents and training childbirth educators.

The Essential Educator is professionally designed and produced to enhance the quality of your program and to facilitate an effective presentation with confidence and flair. Brilliantly designed, it will be popular with new and experienced educators alike - follow the suggested program outlines or incorporate elements into your existing program.

Each Kit contains an impressive array of activities, ideas, materials and strategies - all "road tested" for practicality and suitability for parent education. Save on preparation time as well - everything you need is supplied, right down to the pencils and name tags. Open the box and a whole new world of exciting, fun and effective teaching activities awaits you!
