The Resilience Project

I attended an online webinar entitled "Discovering Resilience" with Hugh Van Cuylenburg earlier this month. It has been 8 years since I first heard Hugh speak about his program at a primary school, and it has come a long way, better than ever. The Resilience Project delivers emotionally engaging programs to schools, sports clubs and businesses, providing practical, evidence-based mental health strategies to build resilience and happiness.

Professional Development 2021

Along with my regular work as a casual relief teacher, this year so far I've done PD online in Behaviour Management, ADHD and Special Needs, Supporting Students with Anxiety and Depression, and Story Box Library Features and Functionality. I'm also looking forward to a short course about the history of Humane Education, which I'm passionate about... Humane Education teaches kindness, develops empathy, and cultivates compassion toward animals, people, and the natural world. Students gain the knowledge and tools to make more informed and socially responsible choices that counteract real-world problems: Humane Education Coalition; Institute for Humane Education; Heart.

New Beginnings

This month in preparation for my next job in education, whatever that might be, I've been doing a lot of online professional development on literacy teaching, autism spectrum disorder, and mental health initiatives via the Department of Education and Training.
