Part of the homework for week 4 was to write 5 blessings in their life… Seeing my name in many of their books makes it all worth it. I really do love my job🥹 #acuedu_p
In a classroom, giving your students classroom responsibilities is a great way to help with a trachers workload while boosting your students’ self-esteem and teaching them responsibility. Classroom jobs also help students feel at place in the classroom #acuedu_p
Throughout this semester I have been impressed with the growth in professionalism of the final year Transition students. Many have reflected professionally on their career and decisions identifying areas of their thinking and practice they could do better. Well done! #acuedu_p
Having desks clustered together promotes cooperative learning and often maintains student engagement. Students like to engage with their peers and assist those ones who need extra help. Group cohesion is so important in order to sustain a positive learning environment #acuedu_p
Learning about behaviour management in EDFD452 has taught me that behaviour management strategies can change depending on individual students #acuedu_p
My first full term of teaching is finished. I had a full load, teaching year 3 to year 10 PDHPE. I learnt so much this term and I know that high school teaching is something I’ll look into in the future. Full time uni and full time work is tough, but I did it. ☺️ #acuedu_p
Happy Tuesday! A little behaviour management strategy introduced today. Every time the kids behave well as a class they get a Pom Pom in Jerry’s Jar. If they reach the top they get a popcorn and movie day. So today was a good day thank you Jerry ! #acuedu_p
Do you ever get stuck choosing students to read or answer questions? This is the perfect strategy in choosing students at random… and it’s a bonus if you don’t know all their names. Using this strategy also ensures all students are focused and on task! #acuedu_p
The most significant thing I have discovered during my transition into the profession, is understanding the importance of reflective practice. I now know that reflection plays a major role in professional learning and progression in my career #acuedu_p
Bouncy Balls is a great way to manage student noise during independent and small group work. Students can self regulate their volume without the constant intervention from the teacher! #acuedu_p
