Casual Relief Teaching

Term 2 is underway - I'm excited to be back in the classroom after the holidays! I'm looking forward to using humane education lessons whenever possible, i.e. when classroom teachers haven't left materials they want me to cover.

Watching Paint Dry Webinar

As part of the Art Education Victoria Watching Paint Dry online Professional Development series, last week I attended a webinar about developing social awareness in students through visual arts teaching.

I am particularly passionate about this aspect of teaching visual arts as the emphasis is on student well-being and encouraging emotional intelligence. Steve Marks, AEV President and primary school art teacher showed examples of art lessons centered around the development of emotional awareness.

This informative series is focusing on various areas of the AusVels Arts curriculum in fortnightly webinar sessions this term.
