Great PL in the Royal National Park today for K-6 staff. Deepening our knowledge of Country and connecting to Country. I learnt so much. Perfect weather. Perfect location. Now to apply what I’ve learnt to support students in our school.

Bookmarks to help students know where to begin their work and keep organised. ✅ A strategy to support students who leave blank pages and don’t order their work sequentially.

Using Swivl robot to film my own lesson as part of our whole school teaching sprint and maths PL. Looking forward to sharing videos with my team to observe and reflect on our teaching practice to guide improvement. NSW Dept of Education #everyteacher #everyleader #improveseveryyear
