I can’t believe I’ve never read this in 15 years of teaching! Absolutely spot on in my experience! ⁦@teacherhead⁩ https://t.co/PVKMcQnIbN

After a semester of planning with students, our inclusive playground is set up and ready for our primary grades to enjoy! I couldn’t be prouder of the way this group of students have worked to make sure everyone feels included on the playground. @rosehillps

What a great first week back of learning, my super stars continue to amaze me with how excited and perseverant they are in their learning! @rosehillps

Learning is still happening, in our Adobe Connect lesson today we learnt about our word of the week, this is what one of my kids creating in their independent activity. #Learningathome @rosehillps

I work with the best team ever!

[Anna O’Brien @annaobrien1234]

Teachers have gone above and beyond once again to ensure our students and communities still have access to the learning and support they need. 💪🏼

This was shared by multiple friends of mine & gets me every single damn time. You lot, you teachers, are ridiculously amazing people. After this has passed, let’s not forget how creative teachers can be when our kids need us. I work with some unbelievable people. ❤️@NSWEducation

Happy International Day of People with Disability! I’m a little biased since one of my kiddos is on this video, but this video is awesome! https://t.co/KIJbE7GGZp @rosehillps #internationaldayofpeoplewithdisability

[Anna O’Brien @annaobrien1234]

We usually don’t do Christmas craft but we’ve been using “the twelve days of Christmas” to revise our learning throughout the year! Today we did STEM, creating decorations for our room using only verbal instructions and our thinking caps!

[Anna O’Brien @annaobrien1234]

Absolutely loved hearing from Riley on Friday!

[Technology 4 Learning, NSW Education @T4L_DoE]

Riley Saban is a superstar! A Year 10 student with quadriplegia cerebral palsy, Riley uses a combination of technologies plus Grid 3, Eye Gaze and iPhone Switch Control in a digital workflow. He says “With the right tools you can achieve anything”. Beyond inspiring!! #T4L

[Anna O’Brien @annaobrien1234]

This term we are reading The Tale of Despereaux and came across ‘stained-glass windows,’ most of the kids hadn’t seen them so we made our own and they look amazing! This book has been great for learning new vocabulary in context @rosehillps

[Anna O’Brien @annaobrien1234]

@KatherinMcCune1 What a great idea!! Love this!

[Anna O’Brien @annaobrien1234]

She’s on her way to making big changes in our world. After being told she couldn’t have a guided runner due to error in classification, she choose to run alone to prove how unfair the system is. I am proud of her perseverance and passion for equity over equality!🏃‍♀️@rosehillps
