My interests:
I wish! Perhaps next year I will have some

My work:
Grade 5/6 teacher at Bert Edwards Science and Technology School.
 * We try to incorporate inquiry based teaching as much as possible in all subjects
 * It is an inner city school with all the accompanying problems
 * My teaching beliefs:
 * It is better to show kindness when it may not be merited than to refuse kindness to a child in desperate need of kindness. (We have many of those).
 * If I can create a classroom full of activity and questions, the students will learn and want to learn.
 * Offering redirection into learning is a great way to deal with bad behaviour.


 * My wish list:
 * The parents of my students would not think of me as
 * A psychologist
 * A psychiatrist
 * A miracle worker

My passion:
These things can get me really steamed up:
 * Children losing their sight because they do not have the right things to eat
 * My work
 * Uncaring use of the beautiful world we live in

My beloved family:
Gorgeous husband (Ah), two amazing children, 13 year old twins, one boy and one girl, a beautiful black dog, Mika.

My friends:
These are the neglected people in my life

Other pages I have worked on: inquiry lessons on electricity
