Who knew an assignment could be so engaging? Had lots of fun creating my digital portfolio of professional practice! #acuedu_p

I’m convinced that the best way for schools to teach empathy, respect, tolerance & understanding, is to model these behaviors each & every day for our students. #education #edchat

How awesome are these Auslan alphabet flags!?! As someone who is passionate about inclusive education, this will definitely be included in my future classroom. #acuedu_p #InclusiveEducation

Cool idea for a classroom display and for student independent learning #acuedu_p

“When someone walks into a classroom of the 21st century, it should be unclear exactly what subject the students are engaged in...the only thing that should be clear is that students are engaged and learning.” edutopia.org/article/preser…

#acuedu_p great group of pre-service teachers finding out all about parent engagement @CCSPNSWACT

One way of engaging parents in the learning of their child is using a classroom blog. The teacher would regularly update the blog about what happened during the week and what the students learned for all of the parents to see. #acuedu_p #P4learning

In EDFD462 we have been learning about setting expectations for students and today at prac I was reminded just how important it is in the first week back after school holidays #acuedu_p #teaching #expectations #mutualrespect #learning

Having fun experimenting with classroom layouts. So many factors need to be considered when designing a classroom. #acuedu_p

Beneficial for teaching students how to problem-solve when there is a conflict with their peers. #acuedu_p

Promoting reading in and out of the classroom. #ACUedu_p

"The problem is not usually the students; it is the system. Change the system in the right ways and many of the problems of poor behavior, low motivation, and disengagement tend to disappear." @SirKenRobinson bit.ly/2H9A5Dy

Something I have discovered during EDFD462 about my transition to the profession is how to create timetables and something I would like to know more about is how to go about engaging with families more often. #ACUEDU_p

I saw this post recently and remembered how great Rita was during her TedTalk. She is so inspirational and I love her optimistic mindset! “Kids don’t learn from people they don’t like” - be the best and happiest teacher you can be! #acuedu_p #ritapierson #TEDTalks

Quite an intriguing article about the pedagogical shifts that teachers make when using interactive whiteboards as a way to make the classroom student-centred. #acuedu_p coolcatteacher.com/7-interactive-…

Such a useful resource for teachers of EAL/D learners in the mainstream classroom! So important to remember that education should be inclusive. education.vic.gov.au/Documents/scho… #acuedu_p

Remind teachers that, when reading long stories to children, it might be useful to break the reading into two or more segments. This helps English-language learners as well as English-speaking children stay focused and better able to comprehend the book. #MentoringMonday
