The best teachers are not the ones who provide you all the answers. They're the ones who get deeply excited by the questions they cannot answer, the ones who teach how to question and doubt the things you learn.
Don't just teach your children how to be successful, teach them how to respond when they are not successful, teach them how to handle failures and learn from their mistakes.
Things that Schools should teach: 🧠
• Being wrong is not a bad thing.
• It's Okay to question what you have been taught.
• Grades aren't as valuable as skills.
• Understanding is more important than memorization.
• Making mistakes is Okay. Learn from your mistakes.

I will definitely be continuing to develop my science teaching knowledge through being a part of the 'Australian Science Teachers Association'. #acuedu_p

I love this! Definitely so important to create a positive learning environment and I believe this starts with building positive relationships with my students. #acuedu_p
It’s taken years of experience and reflection to let go of the control required to build an empowered learning environment.
When “my” classroom turned into “our” classroom, everything changed.

Teachers, behavior management isn’t about being the rule enforcer (waiting to respond to misbehavior) but reinforcing routines, expectations, and creating conflict resolution strategies. This positively changes the classroom culture.
@ASTA_online The Australian Science Teachers Association provides valuable resources that can help support pre-service teachers like me become more confident teaching science! #acuedu_p
Very concerned that the new ACARA science syllabus wants year 5 students to learn about particle theory. Such an abstract concept that was not recommended by any science specialists I know.
https://t.co/rJ1Xg4hqsu This article speaks about NAPLAN now including adaptive testing which take into account student's abilities. This is a step in the right direction, in catering for student's diverse learning abilities as every student is capable of greatness! #acuedu_p
Retention people, retention. Teachers leave in droves after five years in the profession. Spend the money fixing THAT. Maybe then we wouldn't have the issues we do now. This policy is 👎 #edutwitter#auspol

A healing-centered approach to addressing trauma requires a shift from asking a person, “What happened to you?” and instead asks, “What’s right with you?”

This article shared activities to inspire students to be able to achieve their goals in a realistic way. I found this helpful as a preservice teacher to help guide and motivate my students to achieve their goals! #acuedu_p
Whether a student wants to learn all letters of the alphabet or become an astronaut, schools can help them understand how to break their goals down into concrete, achievable steps. 🙌🏾
