As a mother of two daughters aged 10 and 9, I am caring, passionate, enthusiastic and excited about providing engaging and challenging learning experiences to my daughters. My aim is to assist, encourage and support my children and students to achieve their learning goals. At home, I believe that my children have the fundamental right to have access to a successful and fulfilling education in order to be productive and valuable members of society. I take on a holistic, flexible and differentiated pedagogical approach to teaching, to allow for inclusivity within my domains. I strongly believe that there is no one size fits all approach to pedagogy and learning. Therefore, I constantly need to know my students backgrounds, ethnicity, cultures, religions and capabilities to provide quality and engaging learning experiences to engage and challenge all students.
When teaching my children I plan and implement a variety of teaching pedagogies to emphasis engaged learning, communication, literacy, numeracy, collaboration and problem solving through a range of technologies. Alongside this I constantly seek opportunities to make learning connected and incorporate cross-curriculum priorities .By providing multiple ways that students can learn with ICT and real life contexts lays the foundational tools that students will need to think creatively, logically and meta cognitively.
students come to the classroom with a broad range of pre-existing knowledge, skills, beliefs, and attitudes, which influence how they attend, interpret and organize in-coming information. How they process and integrate new information will, in turn, affect how they remember, think, apply, and create new knowledge. Since new knowledge and skill is dependent on pre-existing knowledge and skill, knowing what students know and can do when they come into the classroom or before they begin a new topic of study, can help us craft instructional activities that build off of student strengths and acknowledge and address their weaknesses.
