About Us
​
...and then the penny drops.
Penny Drop Teaching is a collaboration between two colleagues and friends, Alison Walkley and Heidi Jungwirth. We both strive to create nurturing and inspiring classrooms, and we would like to share our teacher created materials with you.
​
And why penny drop? Our materials are named for that special moment when you see from the joy in a child's face that they finally understand.
