OPEN TO: AEU members. COST: $33.00.
Tuesday 4 May 4.00pm – 5.00pm
Assessing students accurately is essential when teaching students in a way that caters for their needs. Incorporating assessment into the routines of the classroom to make them more engaging and less tedious can create a culture of reflection learning. This session explores ways to design formative assessments that allow a teacher to monitor student progress and assess student achievement accurately.
Tuesday 4 May 5.30pm – 6.30pm
Formative assessment and continuous assessment of student learning can be perceived as time consuming when it is seen as an added on task. However, when it is done well and with careful planning it will lead to more effective teaching and improved student outcomes. Strategies for remote learning put into place during COVID-19 lockdowns also provide useful adjustments to incorporate into mainstream classroom practices.
Encouraging Positive Mental Health Practices in Classrooms
Tuesday 4 May 7.00pm – 8.00pm
Positive mental health is a critical component to developing student’s wellbeing. Teachers have been asked to broaden their practice to include student wellbeing as part of the teacher and learning in class. In the current COVID-19 normal environment schools need to be aware of the wellbeing not only of students but also ourselves and our colleagues.
