As a qualified early childhood practitioner and primary teacher for 20 years, Charma has taught and lead teams in schools and ECE Centres across New Zealand, Fiji, The UAE, England and Singapore.
Charma is passionate about giving children agency to lead their own learning and supporting other teachers to do the same by using the strands of Te Whaariki in an ECE context and the IBPYP essential elements in a Primary context.
Born the eldest child to two Deaf parents, Charma’s first language is New Zealand Sign Language and her insight into Deaf culture and it’s history is both personal and professional, as is her passion for sharing this knowledge with others.
