Engaging in intellectual communication with educational organisations and fellow pre-service teachers has opened a new avenue for professional learning and development for future use throughout my teaching career (Carpenter & Krutka, 2014). #UoNTeach
Reflecting on my research and professional development through twitter. I realise the potential this social media platform has within educating for #21stCenturyLearning and #CulturalDiversity#UoNTeach
Incorporation of these 3 elements will be a central theme within my unit of work as it creates a sense of identity for each student within my class. Celebration of our differences is ultimately what brings us together #UoNTeach
This visual provides NSW teachers awareness on the vast array of diverse language groups within our state. Teacher deep knowledge on local communities and backgrounds is key to providing a differentiated teaching pedagogy for their students. #UoNTeach
Collaborative work with the local community can provide a lasting connection through education. I will be organising a fundraiser for my students to host within my unit of work. Building on themes of team work and local appreciation (Turner et. al, 2017). #UoNteach
Using #Skype in the classroom can provide both #21stcenturylearning and #GlobalPerspectives into your lessons. This technology can be used in a range of settings, exploring skills such as collaboration and ICT skills, which are crucial for future learners. (Lamb, 2017). #UoNTeach
Ford, Stuart & Vakil (2014) explain the disconnectedness in #culturallydiverse learning as educators have not experienced communities of the multicultural students they teach. Using #21stcenturylearning, communicating with and learning from these communities is vital. #UoNTeach
Turner (et. al, 2017) states the value of Aboriginal pedagogies can be beneficial towards our students. However, educators can find it difficult to incorporate these methods into everyday teaching. Community assets can be the perfect tool to guide your teaching! #UoNTeach
I absolutely agree, Michael! #Empathy is an important characteristic for our students to learn throughout their education. This book can also be used over a number of different KLAโs! #UoNTeach
When looking to build empathy towards other cultures, Anh Doโs book, โThe Little Refugeeโ touches on themes such as displacement and #culturaldiversity. I plan on using this book to teach my students on taking different perspectives when looking at other cultures. #UonTeach
Throughout the development of my unit of work on #CulturalDiversity, I found the Global Perspectives framework a necessity in constructing a diverse range of ideas and activities to include in my unit. What other frameworks could be used as a guide? (GEPNSW, 2014). #UoNTeach
#InterculturalUnderstanding is paramount to building an #inclusive classroom. Involving the #community can also create a deeper more meaningful learning experience for your students! Something Iโll be incorporating into my unit (Mooney et al, 2016). #UoNTeach
I believe the key to unlocking every students academic ability is to see each student as a unique individual. Diversity should be celebrated within the classroom! How important do you think this is within your classroom? #UoNTeach
I agree @MelissaWastell! The service learning I have been involved in in the past brings students responsibility and awareness of their local environment. Definitely a brilliant way to embed multiple KLAโs into a unit of work #UoNTeach
I believe a big part of celebrating #CulturalDiversity in the classroom is the prominence of #Inclusion. What do my pre-service teachers and educator followers think? #UoNTeach
Incorporation of a place-based curriculum into my unit will focus upon #people, #place and #culture. Creating value towards the local environment and sustainable practices will have a positive impact in the future (Dolan, 2015). #UoNTeach
The 8 ways of learning pedagogical approach uses an Aboriginal perspective towards learning. This process can be beneficial to every student within your class and an avenue for integration of other KLAโs! #UoNTeach
Goodman & Hooks (2016) state that the value of community involvement within education can provide students with relevance and context they need to become engaged learners. This breeds an environment of understanding and unity! #UoNTeach
Skype in the Classroom is a free #community that offers live transformative educational experiences for students, which uses the 21st Century skills of Collaboration and ICT for learning. Who will you be skyping? #UoNTeach
