She encouraged me to cultivate my strong points! She taught me that classroom management was about having a relationship with the students. Also, she let me set the mood by stepping out at the start, and then returning. I loved practicum!

“Let us not take away
the dreams of children –
let them ride in the silver moonbeams
of imagination –
at least
until we can offer them
something better”

It starts...

Despite the wealth of teaching related blogs, there are very few with an Antipodean focus. This is my small but hopefully not insignificant contribution - education with an Australian flavour. 

I’m a final year B.Ed student specialising in English and history. I have a penchent for technology, especially anything Apple. I love music and incorporate it into my lessons whenever I can. I also believe in the benefit of physical activity and am an avid hockey player. This blog is a place for me to connect, dissect, reflect and project. Vanilla Ice, eat your heart out.
