Jade Kemp (@jadieinthecorner) is a dedicated neuro-inclusive educator with almost 20 years teaching experience. After transitioning from a career in the Television Industry, she began her teaching journey in Special Education, fostering a lifelong commitment to inclusive and creative learning. Based in Geelong on Wadawurrung Country, Jade designs classrooms where individuality is celebrated, creativity is nurtured, and every student feels seen and valued.

Currently teaching Media and Photography, Jade draws on her rich background in Drama and Theatre Studies to empower students through storytelling, using it as a tool to build empathy and connect with diverse perspectives. Her heart-led, brain-focused approach also emphasises the importance of critical thinking, equipping students with the skills to navigate and analyse an increasingly complex world.

Jade’s career spans Catholic, Department, and independent schools, where she has championed neuro-inclusive practices to ensure all learners, including neurodivergent students, achieve their own version of success. She believes education should inspire creativity, foster critical engagement, and prepare students to contribute thoughtfully and compassionately to the world around them.

As a mother of three neurodivergent children and a teacher, she has personal experience from both perspectives. Being neurodivergent herself, she gently navigates the challenging journey of advocating for her children in a system that often overlooks their unique strengths.
