Reflecting on my First Year as a Beginning Teacher in the MDTA

It is crazy to think that I have almost completed my first year as a beginning teacher in the MDTA.  I have learnt heaps and grown a lot.  Here is my doco where I talk about my beliefs, the MDTA programme and how I use Manaiakalani's 'Learn Create Share' pedagogy. Thanks to Dorothy Burt, Anne Sinclair, Fiona Grant, the MDTA BTs and the team at Glen Innes Primary who have helped me on my journey!  I am looking forward putting my learning into practice into my own class next year.

    1. Thank you Anne! I'm glad you enjoyed my doco, I tried to make sure it would reflect myself as a teacher as well as the amount I have developed. Thank you for all your support and help this year :)

  2. Thanks for sharing Chelsea, this is so good!! Love the background when you are speaking as well, I found it very calming to watch the ocean behind you haha. You spoke well, your content was well-constructed with a clear message and you can definitely see your personality come through, not some cold clinical video. Go you!

    1. Thank you so much Ashley! It is always so nerve racking to put stuff like this up haha. I'm glad you liked my backdrop! I thought it was a good place to film and it better fits my personality - I'm not really a fan of being stuck inside. Thanks for your kind words! I'm looking forward to seeing your doco and to hear about your journey this year :)

  3. This was a fascinating insight into your first year of teaching Chelsea. As the others have mentioned, you personality shines through while you share your professional learning journey. I am sure you will look back on this with pride as your career progresses. Well done you!
