[Emma Smith @EmmaSmith276]

@BartonMichaelJ well written - and the engagement and collaboration can be done just as much in a Kindy class as it can in year 12

[Emma Smith @EmmaSmith276]

Providing feedback is such an important tool all teachers should be using every day with every student!

[Emma Smith @EmmaSmith276]

Even students in K1 can reflect on our teaching practices. Building strong relationships are at the core of teaching

[Emma Smith @EmmaSmith276]

I want to be a teacher that my students remember - not because of what I taught but the relationships I made https://t.co/v36i1YxpG3

RT @Mikelendy: Every teacher needs to ask themselves this one question before the start of next year!

[Emma Smith @EmmaSmith276]

Maybe we need some of these in our teacher descriptions @AndrewBeII @BartonMichaelJ #innovativechange #mindset https://t.co/8CwYnGvfi6

Similar concerns are being raised in Aust ... Kindergartners get too little time to play? https://t.co/yOMQIIL262 via @ConversationUS
