Described as “a shining star”, Amy Green is using innovative techniques to create a safe learning environment for her Everton Park State School students, who are excelling under her teaching.

Amy is continuously researching, collaborating and developing new fun ways to deeply engage students in learning. Her depth of knowledge of students in her class is helping her to successfully differentiate her teaching to support student learning and build student confidence.

When one of her students was unable to demonstrate their writing due to fine motor skill challenges, Amy ensured they were able to achieve the same outcome as their peers.

Amy has built a classroom culture that has given the children the opportunity to positively connect with the content, their classroom peers as well as her their classroom teacher.

Everton Park State School principal Aminta Miller says students in Amy’s class have become fully engaged in their learning and have been given greater confidence to try new things as a result of Amy’s innovative teaching strategies.

“She recognises the importance of knowing her students and how they learn,” Aminta says.
​
Both Amy and her students regularly upload photos and videos of what they’re learning to a secure app where students’ parents and carers can provide instant feedback, further boosting each student’s self-confidence.

Amy, who regularly volunteers at school events and attends most P&C meetings, has also been praised for her commitment to professional learning and community engagement.

Congratulations Amy on your nomination for the QCT Excellence in Beginning to Teach Award.
