Teaching in action

A window into my classroom practice, highlighting proactive management, student agency, and dynamic learning experiences designed to inspire curiosity and purposeful growth.

Co-constructing success criteria and clear expectations

I believe students learn best when they understand what they are working towards and what is expected of them. When introducing assessment tasks, I like to involve students in unpacking learning intentions and success criteria so they have a clear understanding of what success can look like. I also value consistent daily routines and clear classroom expectations, while giving students opportunities to have a voice in how our classroom works. This helps create a positive and structured environment where students can take more responsibility for their own learning.

The mystery duck crime scene maths project

I love finding ways to make maths fun and engaging for students. In this investigation, students worked together to solve a mystery by completing a range of clues based around area and perimeter. They had to use their maths knowledge, look for patterns, problem-solve and work as a team to crack the case. The students were highly engaged throughout the activity and it was a great way for them to practise important maths skills in a creative and hands-on way.

Taking the classroom outside for collaborative discovery

I believe some of the best learning can happen outside of the classroom. I love giving students opportunities to get outdoors, move around and learn through hands-on experiences. Using the school environment can make learning feel more exciting and meaningful, while also encouraging students to communicate, work together and problem-solve in different ways. These experiences are a great way to build confidence, teamwork and a love of learning beyond the classroom.
