Very much enjoyed the collaborative aspect of this task, pooling ideas and discussing preferences when setting out a classroom #acuedu_p

[Angelica Agamemnonos @AAgamemnonos]

Tonight in our tutorial we played around with a new website in order to try and design our own classroom. Although the site didn't have everything we wanted, we had to make do with what we had. @Matthew17998518 #acuedu_p

Great idea, we must always be looking at ways to differentiate for students working at a high standard #acuedu_p

[Nicholas Macka @nicholas_macka]

Great differentiation activity for year 2 subtraction. While other students were working on counting back, I formulated this activity for one of my higher students where they must match the equation with the answer. She loved it! #acuedu_p

[Matthew Watson @Matthew17998518]

LOVE this, relationships and trust is KEY #acuedu_p

Interesting point raised in yesterday's tute, one stream schools can be more difficult without any grade partners to share the workload of programming, certainly something I will keep in mind moving forward #acuedu_p

[Matthew Watson @Matthew17998518]

Have seen so many fantasic and engaging classroom spaces, so excited to some day create my own #acuedu_p

[Matthew Watson @Matthew17998518]

Love this innovation #acuedu_p

Our KS2 Reading Stairs😍. Our children are on a mission to try and ‘complete the stairs’ by the time they leave us 📚📚

Witnessed a fantastic session in the National Simultaneous Storytime today at a local library, all the kids were engaged and interested in the topic of Space #acuedu_p

[Matthew Watson @Matthew17998518]

Fantasic experience learning from Principal Jamie Wahab, talking new teachers through the processes of beginning in the teaching world #acuedu_p

Let’s talk about ✨🧠BRAIN BREAKS!! I would let the class decide which brain break would best suit them on the day. I’m also open to new suggestions too, giving students the chance to share🤩 Here are my favourites! Hope this is useful😋 #acuedu_p

[Matthew Watson @Matthew17998518]

Very pleased to have passed my lantite exams, one more hurdle completed, graduation is near #acuedu_p

Stu vac couldn't have come at a better time, using this week productively to catch up on work #ACUedu_p

[Mr. Carter @MisterThaCarter]

Bombed a lesson hard today, prompting this exchange:

Me: “Are you getting this at all?”

Students: “Not really.”

Me: “Ok, my bad.”

Student: “It’s ok Mr. Carter. We can tell you’re trying really hard.”

Relationships matter. Relationships allow you to try again tomorrow.

Reflecting back on term one, I can appreciate that casual teaching has provided me with a range of challenges and experiences that has allowed me to grow as a teacher #acuedu_p

[Matthew Watson @Matthew17998518]

My first school holidays as a teacher !! Still feels weird to be on this side of the fence #acuedu_p

[Matthew Watson @Matthew17998518]

No matter how experienced of a teacher I become, I hope to never stop seeking feedback #acuedu_p

[Matthew Watson @Matthew17998518]

Survived my first day casual teaching, definetly a huge learning curve #acuedu_p
