Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land, the Dharug people, and pay our respects to the elders from the past, in the present and future for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal Australia. We must always remember that under the brick, concrete and asphalt this land is, was and always will be traditional Aboriginal land. We pay respect to the Dharug people on whose land we are today; by acknowledging the loss of their lands, cultures and treasures, and knowing the consequences that it has had for their people, communities and nation. We believe we can walk together to create a better future. We meet today, taking this belief on.

MINDFUL LEARNING: MINDFUL TEACHING
What are the good learning behaviours you wish your students to develop?

Some research proven good learning behaviours

Anything to add?
Work Out What You Need To Find Out
- Visual Stimulus with little written information
- Refer to page 45-47
- As a group determine 10 facts from the map. Use
the directional compass in its regular format.
- Stressing the language of respect when challenging
an answer, call on groups to state 1 or 2 of their
- facts. The remainder of the class is to listen careful
to see if they wish to call a challenge.

The result is your age repeated 3 times. (What you have actually done is multiplied by 10101; if you multiply by 1010101 the repetition is fourfold, and so on.)

Planning for Quality Teaching and Effective Learning
- The introductory Phase of a Unit or Lesson
Pictionary (p. 52)
- Our recent study in ‘class’ has been the unit on Environmental
issues;
- We will use a mindmap to review the key concepts we covered in
- ur study; (p.53)
- Each person at the table is to number off 1-….
- When your number is called come up and stand behind the teacher.
- You will be shown a card with a concept on it ; return to your table
and at a given signal draw a picture that represents the concept.
- As the drawer you are not allowed to speak until someone in your
group correctly names the concept. You then yell out ‘Pictionary’.
ABC Brainstorm (48-49)
– Finding out What Is Already Known ‘Ecological Issues’
- Groups are assigned ‘letters’ that they will work with;
- swap answers with another group;
- Additional activity – identify 5 or 6 terms from the
completed list and co write a paragraph related to the focus area.
Brainstorm additional strategies
…for introductory unit of work or lesson
Strategy: Pinning Questions on the Wall
- Consider your work as a teacher for the past term
- What are some of the questions you would like to ask
and get some different views /answers from the team facilitators and your ECT colleagues next NST day and beyond?
- For each question you would like to ask, take a large
post-it-note and write on it.
- ‘Pin’ your ?’s on the wall.
