Lauren Doherty

Hi everyone, my name is Lauren Doherty. I am a Kindergarten Teacher at St Peter's Primary, Port Macquarie. I am in my third year of teaching and I am always looking for ways of developing my teaching practice and new ways of doing things. I am looking forward to this opportunity and hoping to gain insight into the following things:
- Collaboration: What does this look like in other schools and how do Teachers work together to achieve the best outcomes for their students? How do Teachers support each other/ share responsibility of all students?
- ICT: How is this integrated into the classroom?
- Personalised Learning: How is learning personalised to meet the needs of each student?
- PLC's: how are the principles of a PLC evident within the school?
- Assessments: How are these used to inform learning and any new ideas for assessing students, particularly in the Kindergarten classroom
- Classroom set up: We are currently in the process of a rebuild at St Peters and looking at how we are going to set up our rooms to create a flexible learning space
- Literacy and Numeracy: How are Literacy and Numeracy blocks structured?


I am really looking forward to this opportunity and sharing my learnings, particularly with the staff of St Peter's.
