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 New Remote Teacher Course recordings 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.
Your training videos and resources will be posted in The Remote Teacher Learning Hub- you will have instant access to all 6 modules.
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 can complete at your own pace- so you can eat through it or go slow.
For the self-directed course there are no lives. If your school would like to organise the full support package there is a separate package for over 10+ participants with weekly lives and one-on-one support. Contact Carl or Hakea to find out more.
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 and resources… to allow you to feel confident 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!
This round of SELF-DIRECTED learning is only $99.95.
Yes! This New Remote Teacher Course is linked to the AITSL Standards and can be claimed as self-identified elective professional development.

Please note: This is not the full support package with weekly lives and one-on-one support. That package is available to schools, districts or education sectors with over 10+ participants. Please contact for details of that package.
