What an incredible activity! Not only teaching students about engineering and ingenuity but integrating the important social skills of acceptance and empathy. Let's continue to draw awareness to inclusion and diversity. #acuedu_p

Never underestimate the power of a head count! My first time casual teaching at a particular school and I was thrown the 9am swimming lesson curveball. Next time I should remember how many students are in the class before boarding the bus! #acuedu_p

Reflecting upon Linda McNeil's lecture about building positive relationships with parents, I realised this is what we need to communicate to our students' parents: We are here to support your child and want to see them succeed! #acuedu_p

About to welcome his first child into the world, an educator reflects on the common ground shared by all those who teach children. What teachers want parents to know: https://t.co/c8yZowmyaR

In light of mental health day it is important that we take the time to look after ourselves. Some great tips for ensuring that we remain happy, motivated and engaged teachers. #acuedu_p

From the little things (have tea!) to the big (cultivate a growth mindset!), here are 10 ways to prevent burnout—whether it’s your first year of teaching or your twentieth. https://t.co/Pr2JWN7kd9

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

I definitely agree! Also some great tips on conflict resolution were presented which can be used in life beyond the classroom. #acuedu_p

Yesterday’s presentation on building relationships between school and students has made a strong impact on me and I would love to share the importance of Parents engagement at schools when I return to my hometown Darjeeling.#acuedu_p

Needing to stock up on resources for your casual teaching kit? Aldi has some great big books and quality picture books available for purchase.

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

A great reference tool to help differentiate lessons to cater for all students in the classroom.

A great reflection in Year 2 on what collaboration looks, feels and sounds like. Having students understand what collaboration is, is a key to its success. #acuedu_p

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

Embracing diversity in the classroom. Showing your EAL/D students the advantages of speaking more than one language. #acuedu_p

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

Students may not feel this way, so it's good to remind them! #sketchnote by @educatorbmls #bilingual #ELL #edchat #langchat #globaled #strengthbased

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

Nonverbal cues are a great way to assess what your students are thinking. Also a quick way to determine who is engaged with the lesson. #acuedu_p

[edutopia @edutopia]

Say a lot while saying nothing at all. Nonverbals are gestural cues that can help students quickly and respectfully communicate their reactions, needs, and levels of understanding in a fast-paced classroom. https://t.co/uFjkubPwze

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

An important reminder to encourage our students to express their opinions! Even the smallest individual can bring about change. #acuedu_p

9-y-o April has a message for Australia. She wrote this letter after watching the news and her parents couldn't help but share. #inspiring

Giving students an opportunity to choose what they study for as little as one hour a week can have a positive effect on engagement. #acuedu_p

[edutopia @edutopia]

What happens when you give students an hour each week to study anything they wish? A teacher shares the lessons she learned after trying #GeniusHour. https://t.co/HVAog1tnIS

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

We were working on writing our own Dreamtime stories in Year 2 yesterday. A great example of self and peer editing. #acuedu_p

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

A timely reminder to those almost new graduates about to embark on their teaching journey. Remember to have a balanced lifestyle and continue to love what you do. #acuedu_p

While I love using Bee-bots for maths, I've never thought of using them to teach English. Some great ideas for maths and English integration. #acuedu_p

Students seem to engage (sometimes too much) with gaming. Interesting to see if the same principles can be implemented in the classroom to allow students to engage with their learning. #acuedu_p

[edutopia @edutopia]

Turbocharge student engagement by introducing a few simple elements of gaming into your classroom. Leveling up, earning badges, boss challenges, and more... https://t.co/mHPXm5LrDl

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

I had the chance to work a casual day at the early learning centre on the primary school campus I often teacher at. It was a great experience to see how the EYLF is implemented through hands-on play and discovery. #acuedu_p

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

This is great to see! Not only an important skill to be used in their future but also a very engaging activity to use in the classroom. #acuedu_p

Wondering why we’re coding in COMM140 #acuedu_p - Coding to be mandatory in primary, early high school https://t.co/OgFgsNUovI

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

Fortunate enough to watch Opera Australia perform "The Magic Flute" on one of my casual teaching days. A great initiaitive for students to experience a different aspect of performing arts. #acuedu_p

[Samantha Jakelic @sammyjakelic]

It is important to encourage our students to give it a go and have a guess. Regardless of the answer, they will retain some new information. #acuedu_p

[edutopia @edutopia]

A new study shows that guessing is useful for students’ ability to recall information—even when the guesses are wrong. https://t.co/DJDElGvZet
