Professional Learning
As part of my commitment to inclusive education, I have engaged in ongoing professional learning that supports the creation of equitable and accessible classrooms, in line with the Western Australian Curriculum’s focus on diversity and inclusion. I continuously reflect on and adapt my teaching strategies to meet the varied needs of students, ensuring that learning experiences are differentiated, meaningful, and achievable for all learners—regardless of their background or ability.
One key tool I have successfully implemented in the classroom is the Zones of Regulation framework, which supports students in developing emotional awareness and self-regulation skills. By integrating this program into daily routines, I’ve helped students better understand their emotions, build resilience, and engage more positively in their learning. This approach has been particularly effective in supporting neurodiverse students, and those requiring additional emotional or behavioral support It aligns closely with the general capabilities outlined in the Western Australian Curriculum, especially in the areas of personal and social capability, and contributes to a classroom culture where every child feels supported, safe, and ready to learn.
