This week's tutorial task allowed me to reflect on my teaching career plan. It's amazing how much knowledge and experience I have gained from being at university over the years. This is just a reminder of how much closer I am to reaching my goals. I am so determined! #acuedu_p

An effective way for parents to engage with their child's learning is for parents to share some of their goals that they would like their child to achieve. This could range from academic, to social and life skills @P4Learning #acuedu_p

What a great idea for students working on their vocabulary for persuasive writing tasks! #acuedu_P

'Treat the cause, not the symptom' - It is important to identify the underlying cause of why a student is behaving a certain way to help them, and help sustain a positive student-teacher relationship #acuedu_p

Interesting information about standardised testing from the fairtest website. Points that I will be thinking about when creating assessments for students. #ACUEDU_p

This week's tutorial on designing my own classroom was so much fun. It's so exciting that this may be the reality very soon and bringing it to life will be such an amazing journey! #acuedu_p

This week's lecture on setting up the classroom allowed me to identify key points to consider and different ways to arrange the classroom learning environment to cater for the individual learning needs and styles of all students #acuedu_p

Words to live by. Creating a safe and inclusive environment for all learners is of the upmost importance. #ACUedu_p

An important lesson I have learnt throughout this unit is gaining a better understanding of ways to differentiate for the diverse learning needs of all students #acuedu_p

In this week's tutorial, the focus was on planning a literacy block for Kindergarten students and the importance of modelled reading for students to learn skills and writing experiences to build on their learning #acuedu_p

In life there will always be ups and downs. It’s important to find the positives and cherish growth and change within yourself and your students. Be their teaching and their role model 👏🏼 #comebackfighting #acuedu_p #nevergiveup

This week's focus on 'Assessment' was a beneficial lesson in learning about the principles for assessment and reporting in NSW government schools. It has opened my mind to effective and informative assessment and reporting practices #acuedu_p

Every day, countless children are robbed of the education they deserve because of inequality, stigmas and daily challenges. Our Global Ambassador, @rihanna, reminds us why we can't stop fighting for the future of millions of children #FundEducation

I am so thrilled to have Year 1/2 for my first primary placement. It's gonna be a challenge having a composite class, but nonetheless, I know it will be a rewarding experience 👩‍🏫

One of the things about primary teaching that I was most excited for is collecting my own resources. I had these stamps made in preparation for prac this year and I cannot contain my excitement to use these when marking 👩‍🏫 #acuedu_p

I'm so excited for the time I start buying stickers and stamps! twitter.com/PhoebeT20/stat…

Looking into Week 2: The lecture was extremely beneficial in preparing us for Assessment 1. It is a big task, but organisation and planning is key. My partner and I are really looking forward to completing this assessment #acuedu_p

Looking forward to completing final year of study and teaching #acuedu_p
