My name is Amanda Selmes and I have just finished completing a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood and Primary teaching, as well as a Graduate Certificate in Inclusive Education.
Throughout the two courses I have undertaken a number of subjects that have broadened my understandings of child development, from birth to 12 years. I have also developed skills in programming and planning, as well as knowledge of the Early Years Learning Framework, the K-6 Syllabus' in all KLAs, and the soon to be implemented Australian Curriculum.
Through undertaking a Graduate Certificate in Inclusive Education, I have also gained knowledge and skills surrounding curriculum differentiation, assessment, behaviour management and collaboration. I will be expanding my knowledge in this area by undertaking a Master in Inclusive Education during 2014. From casual employment over the last three years, I have also gained experience working with students with additional needs and learning how to program and plan to ensure they are receiving an education that meets their individual needs.
I hold a current first aid, anaphylaxis and asthma (from surf lifesaving and DET online training), eEmergency care, and child protection awareness (DET online training) certificates. I have also attended the mandatory child protection and code of conduct training for 2014. In addition to these certificates, I have also undergone Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorders training, which increased my knowledge, understanding and ability to cater for students with ASD.
I am very passionate about teaching and helping children realise their potential and their dreams. I pride myself on being reliable, honest, hardworking, prompt, and friendly.
I am looking to gain more experience with working with children, through casual, part-time or permanent work, I am available all day, Monday and Tuesday, for casual or part-time work. I am also willing to undertake voluntary days to get a feel for your school/centre and for staff and children to get to know me.
This site is a work in progress and will be updated and changed as I progress throughout my career, and the accreditation process.
