A Passionate Primary Educator’s Journey
Hello there, I’m Zanthie, and I’m on a mission to ignite the sparks of curiosity, wonder, and a lifelong love for learning in the hearts of our youngest learners. As a primary educator, I’ve found my purpose in shaping the minds and hearts of the next generation.
My passion for helping others reach their potential, has, and always will be a priority. This enthusiasm inspires me with a genuine desire to connect with my students to further develop in them a sense of belonging within the classroom, whilst empowering them to become a better learner. It’s more than a career; it’s my calling. I find immense joy in the laughter, the inquisitive gazes, and the boundless imagination of the young children who I have the privilege of guiding.
As I continue to learn through my studies of a Bachelor of Primary Education, I bring a blend of academic knowledge and practical experience to my role. I’m continually amazed by the rapid development that occurs during these formative years and am dedicated to creating an environment that nurtures that growth.
In my classroom, it’s not just about teaching numeracy and literacy; it’s about fostering social and emotional development, encouraging creativity, and instilling a sense of wonder about the world. I believe that every child is a unique, budding individual, and my approach is tailored to meet their distinct needs and help them flourish.
But my passion doesn’t stop at the classroom door. I’m actively involved in community initiatives, advocating for education’s importance, and supporting families in their parenting journeys. It’s a holistic commitment to the well-being and development of children.
In this portfolio, I’m excited to share my insights, favourite teaching strategies, and experiences from the vibrant world of primary education. Sharing my reflections and artefacts from my developing professional learning and experience, this portfolio is a visual representation of the profound impact that education has on children’s lives and our society as a whole.
