@DeborahOsei13 What an interesting area of reflection. It would never have occurred to me that your natural hair might be deemed unprofessional. Thank you for raising this as it will definitely support my own critical reflection on area where some students may feel silenced by classroom norms.
Story starters can be used as quick writing prompts. Also consider how visuals can be used as writing prompts. Pobble 365 has great images and the Literacy Shed has some fantastic videos. Students could write short stories based on a book cover prior to reading.

Thank you @attila_lendvai for talking to ACU education students this afternoon. A timely pre-prac reminder to critically reflect on our teaching and question how our practice supports student learning outcomes. What does differentiation look like in your classroom?

How can teachers communicate with the parents and guardians of children in their class? Technology allows for a lot more flexible and immediate methods. What methods have you seen and what works for you?

Today in EDFD462 we discussed the different ways to communicate with parents. I hope to be able to practice some of these on my last placement and implement them in my future teaching career. #AcuEdu_P
"True inquiry goes to the core of our identity as teachers. As has been said many times, it’s about the way we see ourselves and the way we see the learners with whom we work."

Determining how to use wall space is part of setting up a classroom. @edutopia recommend displaying student work over student data and ensuring that there is room between displays to avoid a cluttered look and feel. We want our walls to inspire student learning.
