About this Event
Starting your first year in the Master of Teaching can feel overwhelming — especially when you're preparing for your first teaching rounds.
Beyond lesson planning and classroom management, what actually makes a great teacher?
In this session, experienced educator Russell Ives will share practical insights from years in the field, focusing on what truly matters in teaching — building strong relationships, engaging students meaningfully, and developing the mindset needed to thrive in the classroom.
Drawing on real classroom experience, this session will explore:
• Why relationships matter more than perfect lesson plans
• How to create a classroom culture that supports learning
• Practical strategies to engage students and encourage participation
• How to stay organised, manage pressure, and sustain yourself as a beginning teacher
This session is designed specifically for first-year Master of Teaching students who are about to begin, or are currently undertaking, their teaching rounds.
If you're looking to feel more prepared, confident, and grounded in your teaching journey, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
