Relationships are key to your success as a remote teacher. In this module we look at why relationships are so important, the types of relationships, and the ways to develop and maintain relationships.
Systems and routines will help reduce your planning, reduce negative behaviours and increase classroom safety. In this module we look at the what, why and hows of systems and routines in remote classrooms.
Behaviour management is an art! In this module we look at ways to proactively reduce behaviours, manage behaviour and reflect on what we can control in our classrooms.
Our students will have different upbringings, life experience, ways of being and seeing the world. As teachers in remote communities it is our duty to be on a learning journey too. In this module we discuss culture, creating relevant lessons and how to support our culturally diverse students.
The needs of your students in remote communities will be diverse. In this module we look at common special needs, ways these may manifest in the classroom and strategies to support our students.
In this module you will learn how to hook your students in with fun, engaging and creative strategies and activities. We will discuss why engagement is super important in remote contexts.
The Thrive Intensive is facilitated by Carl Merrison and Hakea Hustler. Carl was educated in a remote school, worked as an AEIO and Clontarf worker in a remote school, and has many family members as students and staff in remote schools around Australia. Hakea has many years experience in remote schools as a teacher and HOD.
You will receive weekly prompts, content and updates in the exclusive The Remote Teacher Member Mastermind Facebook group. Your training videos and resources will be posted in The Remote Teacher Learning Hub.
Content will be released across 2 weeks on the Learning Hub and on the Facebook group- you will have access for the full year so if you fall behind or want to revisit anything you can do that throughout your first year of teaching!
You will have 3 modules delivered per week- you are delivered a training video with workbook and activities. You can complete at your own pace. It is anticipated that the learning would take around one hour each module but there are other opportunities to engage and learn in addition to the recorded trainings- including in our Facebook group to do deeper learning and collaboration.
You can attend Facebook lives throughout your Intensive- but everything is recorded and available at a later date. You can ask questions and seek support throughout your 6 weeks via Facebook inbox, Learning Hub chatroom or in the Facebook group.
The Thrive Membership is perfectly suited to all Australian remotes! Content can be applicable to all remote contexts- take what works and leave what doesn’t.
For 6 weeks of training, resources and support… to allow you to feel confident, supported and prepared for your new adventure… I wonder what price you’d put on it?
Investing in professional development might feel big, expensive and budget scary with a university student mindset- but with a successful remote teacher mindset (about to be on a nice teacher wage and allowances!) it is almost nothing compared to the knowledge and skills you will gain!
We will announce the price when we open the cart again 🙂
Yes! This Thrive Intensive is linked to the AITSL Standards and can be claimed as self-identified elective professional development.
Ready for the next step?
We only open the Thrive Intensive a few times a year to allow us to focus deeply in with a select few participants.
The next round of the Thrive Intensive will run July 2022 to prepare participants for success in Semester 2 2022.
