Teaching Experiences:

 

As an early childhood and primary teacher, I have had immeasurable experiences with parents, teachers and students. Working with children from birth to twelve years of age has been much like a rollercoaster ride, some days were extremely high, and others were extremely low. Both positive and negative experiences have furthered my practical and theoretical understandings, which fortunately provides a powerful stepping-stone to infiltrate into the teaching profession. 

 

Some experiences from professional practicums in  early childhood and primary settings include:

 

• Working with concrete materials, ICT, and a range of other resources

• Developing programs for stage 1, English and Mathematics

• Teaching students as a whole class, in small groups, and individually

• Contributing to after-school staff development days

• Working collaboratively with parents and teachers

• Voluntary work as a reading support assistant

• Voluntary work at a Disability school

• Creating ILP and IEP plans

• Familiarised with various legislations, policies and curriculum document

• Engaging in OHS practices, protective behaviour workshops, electoral professional development program and anaphylaxis training

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following pictures were taken during my practical experience with children aged 4-5 in a centre in Canberra. With this particular group of children, we explored the concepts of food by developing meals with dough, investigated shapes by building a robot with a range of materials, and we also created pom poms to build on students interests of cheerleading.
