2. Mrs Kube
3. She was probably the first teacher that I had that incorporated teaching strategies beyond a worksheet or textbook. She incorporated different learning environments, digital and hands-on approaches. Her learning strategies were helpful beyond the course that she taught.

 Jo  A great teacher was my art teacher in year 11 and 12.This teacher took us out of the classroom regularly to see art works and occasionally visit artists in their studios, it really lifted our gaze and gave us a perspective on art that was bigger than the art room and the processes. They combined this with instruction about applied processes, art history/theory and some parameters to seed our own work. We felt inspired and equipped. I think underlying this was the art teachers’ positive attitude towards our potential to express ourselves.

1. My name is Nina Wilson.
2. The best teacher I ever had was my high school drama teacher, Ms Nicolle.
3. She was the best teacher because she had the perfect balance of knowledge, approachability, and authority. She always made lessons interesting and she built excellent rapport with the students by taking the time to get to know them. In turn, I think this made her teaching more effective because we respected her and therefore listened to her.

1. Kultar Ahluwalia
2. Mr. Cornish - my year 5 and 6 teacher.
3. I had this teacher across 2 years of schooling so I developed a stronger rapport with him than any of my other primary school teachers or high school teachers. He used a lot of dry humour throughout his teaching - he could tell me off in way that pulled me into line without humiliating me. He also took time to understand my interests and motivations and then applied this to his teaching.
