How exciting!!! 2020 is it!

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

Casual teaching and being independent in the classroom shows how far we have come from being pre-service teachers. Thinking about the anxiety and stress from my first few pracs and how I’ve progressed to this point, very different! #acuedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

To put it simply, thanks Rania! Super helpful #acuedu_p

[Ran @Rania111]

There is a difference between a PBL and a PBL!! #acuedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

Great idea! I have not used this in my teaching and would love to try it #acuedu_p

[👩🏼‍🏫 Miss. M Clark @fruitfulclassrm]

Implementing ‘silent discussion’ to my year three students. 🤫 Students discuss + respond to big ideas = allowing ALL students to have a voice, challenge each other’s thinking and minimising anxiety. #acuedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

A key development in my practice at Enfield was how to enable students to learn, express success & achievement in their own way. Some may be great in ICT, others art and some with hands on activities. #acuedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

How good is this! So true Matt, we had the best time this term with so many laughs. The whole school community and staff could not be kinder to us. #acuedu_p

[Matt Williamson @MrMatthewWilli2]

Really felt the community spirit at @EnfieldPublic during the blast assembly! Was so humbling to be recognised in front of the whole school. Thank you to all the Staff and Students who made the journey so special. 7 weeks of prac and 4 years of Uni ✅ what a journey!! #ACUedu_p

[David Lee @Davo452]

Congratulations to all the ACU 4th Year BEd (Prim) students who completed their final professional experience EDFX444 today! Proud of you all! Another milestone achieved on your career path. Well done! 😃🎓#ACUedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

Genius Hour runs once a week for these young genius students of the future. Students create a project they are passionate about to educate others. #acuedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

Highlight of the week: select few Stage 3 students attending the Mathematics Day to engage in super fun activities working together in small teams. #acuedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

Thinking on my feet is definitely a skill I need to improve on! It would especially be useful when we begin casual teaching. #acuedu_p

[Veronica @MissShemoon]

At it again with the differentiation for my HA. Had to think quick on my feet as he flew through the original HA activity. Multiplication/Groups Of #acuedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

The weather was too good to be inside! Back at it again with science, learning about astrology and constellations in Stage 3. Happy days in the sun. #acuedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

What a fantastic day! Very impressed with these students and also their ability to stay in those costumes the entire day! #acuedu_p

[Carolina Tapia @carolina_T93]

Wonderful things happening at EPS today for a belated’ bookweek- what a display from both the students & the teachers! Lots of smiling, happy faces 🎊🎀 @EnfieldPublic @GraceLattuca @itsjaxalexander @wratten_james

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

This is a different way of meeting the social and emotional needs of students to improve their attendance and engagement at school, 2 minutes every morning and afternoon I thought this was very interesting!

[edutopia @edutopia]

For students who need a little extra support, this is a high-impact way to start and end the day. Just ask @principalest.

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

The stage 3 Earth and Space unit can be hard to wrap your head around, we found an opening in the timetable this week and decided to visually demonstrate our learning with art and a cool toilet paper activity comparing the distances of planets from the sun! #acuedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

Reflective practitioner: a strategy that will continue to help me so much through this process. I learn more and more each day with feedback, professionals and students around me! #acuedu_p

[Grace Lattuca @GraceLattuca]

Art exhibition! Students showcasing their best projects based on this beautiful country, Australia. #acuedu_p

[Vaioleti Foiakau @vaifoiakau]

I look forward to developing my own teaching style and finding out what works best for me in the classroom, that’s what I would like the work on in my EDFX444 prac experience #acuedu_p

Only 17% of teachers feel prepared to support students with learning disabilities, a new report finds. Here’s what teachers can do.
