Really enjoying being back in the classroom this week with our students who are getting back into school – and so inspired by their resilience and adaptability. Check out this article on transitioning back to the classroom!

This week I'm going to try leaning into the silence, to see how it backs me up.

I read an interesting article about providing students with "wait-time" after questioning.

[Miss K @MissTeacherI]

The research indicated that providing wait time lead to more student responses, longer responses, increased student-student interaction, and more higher order thinking displayed in responses. How interesting!

The return to school should be joyous and fun; primarily focused on the social and emotional well-being of students in our care #acuedu_p ⁦@ACUeduandarts⁩ https://t.co/ASVm9H3Xs8

Matt Sexton (MTLC webinar 8.9.21, on concrete materials): “Think of scaffolds on a building, they are not always there. They are there for a purpose and they are eventually taken away.” Yes, tools first to help structure ideas, then remove them for student independence #ACUedu_p

[Miss K @MissTeacherI]

I would like to know more practical tips for beginning teachers!

What are the things we should know? How should we prepare?

What are the small things that a beginning teacher might not know yet?

What is a must-have buy for every new teacher?

As I transition into the profession, I've realised that an important part of teaching is instilling a love for learning within students to foster their intrinsic motivation and curiosity for learning new things. #acuedu_p

"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire" - WB Yeats.

As we begin teaching, remember that one of the most important things you can do is spark a student's curiosity and lifelong love for learning ✨🔥

With most summative assessment tasks I program, I provide students with a menu of options to cater for all learning styles whilst still achieving the learning outcomes. #acuedu_p

To anybody interested in broadening their knowledge and understanding of indigenous history and culture, check out this book!

While remote learning is certainly challenging, this article discusses that it is helping some students to thrive, due to increased independence, extra sleep and study time and reduced social distraction or intimidation! #acuedu_p

I watch this Ted Talk whenever I start doubting myself and feel I need that extra boost. What an incredible woman. Her insights on how effective teacher/student relationships can ensure student success #acuedu_p

[Miss K @MissTeacherI]

@KScuglia Amazing! Was that during online learning too?

Has anybody tried out The Teaching Tools digital stamps for online learning?

If not, I highly recommend. They are completely free and there are a few different designs too! What other cool online resources have people found? 🙂

@Davo452 The best way to approach most things in life! 👍

[Miss K @MissTeacherI]

Online placement has made me think about the creative ways teachers bring learning to life from afar! Albert Einstein said “the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge, but imagination” and I see this imaginative intelligence in their innovation and creativity #ACUedu_p

[Miss K @MissTeacherI]

Recently, the Pomodoro Technique has been helping me focus and get in the zone by providing an extra bit of structure to my work and study blocks.

What techniques have been working for you?

Anybody else struggling with concentration, motivation and focus during lockdown?

Research suggests that people normally need 5-15 minute breaks for every hour of screen time - and considering how much screen-time we have in lockdown, it makes sense to feel a toll!
