The context:
We are part of a global community of educators who work tirelessly to ‘achieve excellence and equity in education outcomes for all children and young people.‘
Making connections with people in our comunities, our country and people around the world shows how common our ideas, beliefs and values are.
We learn about, with and through the experiences of others. This provides unique insights into key practices and processes that are the foundation stones of all teaching & learning practices around the globe.

i) Building positive teacher-student relationships.
“Positive teacher-student relationships are supportive and fair and develop in learning environments where students feel safe, understood and appreciated. Trust grows over time and although building trust with some students is not easy, it is teachers who affirm the belief that all students can experience learning success by maintaining high expectations, modelling expected behaviours and responding to students’ needs.”
ii) High expectations
“Having high expectations for students’ learning and classroom behaviours offers them hope of success, shows they are cared for, and supports achievement for all.”

2. Collaborative whole school approaches to curriculum practices – DJM’s global connections.
“Aligning teaching practices with how students learn improves educational outcomes for all students. This is why some teaching practices are more effective than others. It is ultimately the teacher’s responsibility to align their practices with how their students learn best.”
