Many of Mandy’s students might be learning remotely but that hasn’t stopped her from engaging reluctant learners. Her online units of work have been embraced for replacing out-dated, paper-based studies, and she is in the process of collaboratively writing a whole-school ‘Thinking Skills’ document for students in Prep to Year 12. Statewide students will also experience Mandy’s talents when her revised Year 8 curriculum, which she was recently seconded to produce, is introduced later this year.
