TeachCast: Episode 6 - On supporting and guiding teachers as an AP, C&I ft. @Mr.J.Learning.Space

In Episode 6, you’ll meet Aaron, an assistant principal, curriculum & instruction (AP, C&I), in a NSW public school. From being a public school student himself to 16 years of teaching experience in the public education system, Aaron has a deep-seated passion for making a positive impact on every student he interacts with.
Over the last 10 years of his career, Aaron has taken on various leadership positions, and he shares with us how he navigated the transition into leadership and what a day in the life of an AP, C&I looks like.
We cover various aspects of Aaron’s role including:
- how he supports teachers through curriculum reform and in implementing evidence-informed literacy and numeracy practices in the classroom
- creative ideas for delivering effective (and engaging) cross-curriculum lessons
- benefits of team-teaching and modelling reflective practice
Aaron also delves into how his Instagram platform (@Mr.J.Learning.Space) has allowed him to share advice and ideas around collaborative teaching environments, grow connections and support teachers beyond his own school environment to rural and remote NSW teaching communities.
We hope you enjoy this episode.
