And with my final exam I finally say goodbye to university. I have never been more proud of myself. Throughout this journey I have found out who I am and how… instagram.com/p/Bp6Nz2GHKjG3…

And just like that.. 4 years of university finished. Could not have done it without these amazing ladies. Now for our ball tonight, an exam and then starting… instagram.com/p/BpYQkZLAH5FY…

@K_Coolentianos How does this work babe?? Have you tried it?

Love this idea! Success criteria for the students to see. Provides quick and meaningful feedback for the students and allows teachers to track student progress in writing ✍️ #ACUedu_p twitter.com/d_balasas/stat…

I did shape bingo as a warm up activity in my maths lesson yesterday. Instead of calling out shapes, I gave the students clues and they had to identify the shape! They loved it and had so much fun identifying the correct shapes #teachstarter #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 @P4Learning #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

This handy phone app allows you to randomly select a child to share their work or ideas in the classroom ! #technology #acuedu_p

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

“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? @SirKenRobinson has the answer.. #acuedu_p #multipleintelligences ted.com/talks/ken_robi…

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

My monster money has been set up, excited to see how the students continue to respond to this behavioural management system over time #ACUedu_p

Love this idea! #acuedu_p twitter.com/t_kolivas/stat…

Found this great resource to assist teachers and students when developing recounts in the classroom! Looking forward to implementing strategies like this one into my classroom #acuedu_P twitter.com/teachingideas/…

Enter your room each day like the rockstar that you are! The mindset you start the day with can set you up for success or failure! #teachergoals

The type of teacher I want to be created learning environments and experiences that assist ALL children to become active, self-confident and resilient members of society. #acuedu_P

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
