Goodness of Fit – One Size Does Not Fit All | Carla Jeffrey | TEDxBendigo

The compatibility of a person’s temperament with their surrounding environment and relationships is referred to as ‘goodness of fit.’ One of the key components in assisting children to feel good about themselves and be successful throughout life is creating environments that consider, respect and accommodate their temperaments. Understanding the significance of ‘goodness of fit’ and the power that it holds is crucial to supporting our children and youth of today. Being able to adjust our sails, may very well change the direction of the wind. Carla Jeffrey commenced her career in early childhood over twenty years ago and has worked with children and families in a range of settings. These have included co-ordination of a Children's Centre, managing a portfolio of Children's services for local government, teaching and training. During Carla's role as teacher and trainer for ten years in the TAFE sector, Carla was instrumental in continuing her advocacy for children and families and alongside St Lukes Family Care; Carla was the joint recipient of a State Training Award for Innovation and Partnership for her work in educating diverse groups of parents. Carla is currently lecturing at La Trobe University and undertaking a Masters in Research, with her thesis focus relating to children's temperaments and the relationship to transitions. Carla hopes that her research will empower educators to find the goodness of fit to make a difference in children’s lives and their learning experiences, changing the world one child at a time.
