Creativity and Engagement
I strive to create a classroom atmosphere where creativity thrives and students are excited about their educational journey. By designing visually appealing materials and dynamic lesson plans, I aim to capture students’ attention and make learning enjoyable. For example, I take pride in crafting unique booklet front pages and certificates among others that, not only attract students, but also instill a sense of pride in their work.
Integration of Technology
In our rapidly evolving digital world, integrating technology into education is not just beneficial but necessary. I have incorporated the use of tablets and our dedicated Prep 6 website to create an interactive and immersive learning experience. This approach not only enhances students’ technical skills but also makes learning more accessible and engaging.
Holistic Development
I believe in addressing the diverse learning styles and needs of each student. By using digital tools and resources, I tailor my teaching methods to ensure that every child can learn in a way that suits them best. My aim is to develop not just academic proficiency but also critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
Lifelong Learning
My commitment to education extends beyond the classroom. After taking a career break to focus on my family, I pursued personal interests in jewellery making and furniture upcycling, which further honed my creativity and design skills. Additionally, I achieved a professional diploma in digital marketing, broadening my expertise and enabling me to bring new perspectives and tools into my teaching practice.
Building a Supportive Community
I believe that a supportive and inclusive classroom environment is key to student success. I am dedicated to creating a space where every student feels valued, encouraged and confident to express themselves. By fostering a sense of community, I aim to build strong relationships with my students and colleagues to support each child’s educational journey.
In summary, my teaching philosophy centres on creativity, technological integration, holistic development, lifelong learning and community building. I am committed to preparing students not just for academic success but for life beyond the classroom, equipping them with the skills and confidence to navigate an ever-changing world.
