Summary

As an educator, I am dedicated to providing a learning environment in which students are curious, engaged and challenged, whilst feeling valued and supported. I am highly skilled in planning integrated units of work which fulfil the requirements of the Australian Curriculum, provide inclusive practices and cater for the diverse learning styles and needs of students in my care. I am committed to delivering a well-rounded and quality education by fostering a variety of pedagogical practices, including inquiry learning, explicit teaching, higher order questioning, collaboration, visible thinking routines and timely feedback. I am able to develop good relations and rapport with students, colleagues and parents through modelling a growth mindset and utilising effective interpersonal and intrapersonal skills.
