Quality Teaching Resources. My Why:
I care about the students I teach like they are my OWN family. They need to feel welcome, that they are ENOUGH. They should feel enough for who they currently are, enough in their current skill set, enough in their ideas they share. Enough to have a quieter day or a more chatty day. They are enough.
From here, a safe space, we then move on to teaching explicit skills, in a fun engaging way. We also have moments of play throughout and brain breaks. The overall result is high educational outcomes and self-esteem, including self-efficacy, knowing they can be active participants in their learning. The Growth Mindset is at work here too, where we say we 'Haven't learnt something YET,' rather than limiting beliefs that we can't do something. In this environment meaningful learning takes place.

Being Creative in 2024
OLD PAINTINGS SUCH AS: THE PINK BULL
Made in 2018 or 2017.
At this time in Australia, quite a few artists were painting cows’ heads so I had a go.
I could not stick to the more traditional style I saw of just a large cow's head.
I enjoyed making it abstract, which was more entertaining and freeing to paint.
From as long as I remember, let's say from 4 years old, I’ve always enjoyed playing with imaginative and abstract designs.

Recently- around 'November 2020 ish,' I found an old book from my father's school days in a family bookcase. He is no longer with us as he died when I was 18. Therefore, as you may be able to relate to yourself; everything he touched is so special. In this case, I had never looked properly at his school French book.
Inside, was a little random creature he sketched that he called 'Le Microbeax- Microbe.'I instantly loved it & it helped explain more why I also love drawing fun creatures, since forever, well ...: ) from age 4 etc!
In general, creativity comes from our loved ones, and it also comes from mentors, friends, teachers, galleries, nature, online sources and more. Yet, these places are just one part of where we get our creativity from.
Sometimes, I believe too as Elizabeth Gilbert says, that it comes from 'angels,' or whatever higher power and spirit you connect to.
