Hi, my name is Jennifer I am a divorced mother of two. I live with my partner in Prospect NSW, approximately 40 minutes west of Sydney. My eldest daughter is currently in year 1 at St Michaels Catholic School in South Blacktown and my youngest starts school next year. I have a passion for childen and believe education is the best gift we can give our children as it equips them for their futures. Effective teching is a very broad topic. Personally I am a supporter of teaching for student diversity, to understand each child and how to best suport their learning. I also strongly support cooperative learning, as it allows for children to learn form one another. Effective teaching is the responsibility of teachers, parents and anyone who influences our childrens lives. We all have a responsibility to create effective learning for our children.
