Planning our dream classrooms in our EDFD462 Workshop. This classroom encourages co-operative learning and utilises a quite area as a positive behaviour management strategy. Looking forward to seeing this come to life in future years! #acuedu_p

On Wednesday I was able to go on a school excursion with my class as part of my final practicum to the Royal Botanic Gardens. So lucky I got to have this experience with the students and get to see their personalities outside the classroom. #sustainability #educate #acuedu_p

“A hurtful child is a hurt-filled child. Trying to change her behavior with punishment is like trying to pull off only the top part of the weed. If we don’t get to the root, the hurtful behavior pops up elsewhere.” edutopia edutopia.org/article/aiming…

Now that NAPLAN is finished I heard a teacher at my practicum school say, "Ok now we can make teaching fun again". There is something seriously wrong with this! Do schools kill creativity? Sir Ken Robinson has the answer.. #acuedu_p #multipleintelligences ted.com/talks/ken_robi…

Interesting behaviour management in Stage 3 for a very sports orientated class. If students reach MVP on the peg chart, they take 2 3 point shots at the end. If score successfully, they’re rewarded with 5 mins extra lunch tomorrow. Worked a treat! #acuedu_p

Had a tough lesson today with my kindergarten students at practicum. Behaviour and time management is something that I am going to have to work at. Important to remember that we will always have good and bad days #chinup #deepbreath #acuedu_p

The best way to engage with parents is by setting up various ways to communicate. Whether digitally (Dojo Stories, class blogs) in person (formally and informally), written communication etc. so that all parents have the ability to be involved and engaged Partners4Learning #acuedu_p
