  • Welcome to Teachers Supporting Teachers 2023 Bonus Episode ... this is a wow end of the year share conversation, that you will so understand as you listen.

    This episode was recorded in June 2023 with future teachers of Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Tun Abdul Raza (IPGKTAR) in Kuching, Malaysia Borneo. We had just finished a workshop on making for wellbeing and wellbeing for making where we also focused on hope for our self-care and wellbeing.

    This episode is recorded on one microphone, so there are a few little moments of quiet, but you will have goose bumps as you listen to this conversations - hope, vision, improving oneself, requests from each other, needs, and appreciations are shared. Magical.

  • Welcome to Teachers Supporting Teachers Podcast, a podcast that supports future teachers, and those who are in the classroom. This is series 8, and episode 6, our last in a collection that has been a collaboration with the Office of Australia's Women in STEM Ambassador. I've been working closely with Becky Laurence who is the program coordinator for Future You and her colleagues, and in this episode Becky and I are joined by Hilary the Future You Program Manager.

    Equity in the classroom, innovation, voice, and opportunity with career education, STEM education, and Future You features in this conversation. Our guest Hilary and Becky share insights into impact in the classroom for teachers and students. And we are inspired by the question: How might bite side resources, ideas and possibilities be embraced in your teaching?

  • Welcome to Teachers Supporting Teachers Podcast, a podcast that supports future teachers, and those who are in the classroom. And this is series 8. As with all series I like to do something a little different and capture some different ideas, work with different people, and inspire you as you become teachers and work as teachers.

    So this series I am collaborating with the Office of Australia's Women in STEM Ambassador, and I am working closely with Becky Laurence who is the program coordinator for Future You and her colleagues.

    I’m so excited as we are digging deep into this initiative to talk about the importance of careers education. In this episode we are talking all things implementation – sharing strategies about how the new resources could be implemented in classrooms and how lesson plans could be structured to include them.

  • Welcome to this episode in series 8 where we are talking all things career education, STEM, and women in partnership with Australian Government’s Women in STEM Ambassador and the program coordinator for Future You Becky Lawrence. In this episode we spice up evaluation. It's critical for development of programs and continuous improvement, and of course is a close friend with reflective practice. Becky shares the findings from our market research about the first lot of resources developed, and how those findings will be used to inform changes to the program.

    What to know more about Future You?

    Future You is a national, digital awareness raising initiative led by the Australian Government’s Women in STEM Ambassador and funded through the Women in STEM National Awareness Raising Initiative as part of the Australian Government’s Advancing Women in STEM strategy.

    The initiative aims to increase the participation of girls in STEM by raising awareness of the range of exciting STEM-skilled career opportunities available, raising the visibility of girls and women in STEM study and careers and challenging stereotypes.

    The Future You pilot campaign ran from October-December 2020 and our evaluation of the pilot included recommendations for the next phase of the program. The aim of the pilot campaign was to raise awareness of the diverse range of STEM careers, increase visibility of girls and women in STEM education and professions and address public perception of what a career in STEM involves by reducing stereotypes and gender bias. Future You is aimed at children aged 8-12 and their parents and carers.

    The Future You pilot reached 2.3 million children, parents and carers. The campaign had high awareness among children and parents and carers and the campaign creative was well-liked across genders and age groups, with a male skew in awareness among adults.

    Children who saw the campaign reported a lift in interest in STEM jobs and subjects, with ‘strong interest’ in STEM jobs and subjects increasing three-fold among girls.​ The campaign raised parents’ opinion of the importance of STEM skills for their child’s future, particularly among women. There were small shifts in perception regarding STEM jobs as being ‘for women’ or men/women equally among children surveyed following interaction with the campaign.

  • This is a wonderful episode where we have many ah ha moments of what can be possible in the classroom as a teacher. We dig deep in the concept of being an engineer of the lesson and classroom, failing forward, risk taking, development of electives and curriculum, and what is possible when we dream big as teachers for our students. This is a rich conversation with Becky and our guest Dr Kathryn White who runs the Australian Junior Science Olympiad for ASI, is one of the program team members, and also teaches a science at Merici College teacher in Canberra. So many tips, tricks and strategies for you.

    And as you reflect on this episode consider the questions…

    When you have an idea, and your gut tells you you need to lead change, how are you going to be courageous?How will you foster creativity and curiosity?What will you do to increase student engagement and participation?How will you be an engineer of your lessons? teaching?

  • Welcome to Teachers Supporting Teachers Podcast, a podcast that supports future teachers, and those who are in the classroom. And this is series 8. As with all series I like to do something a little different and capture some different ideas, work with different people, and inspire you as you become teachers and work as teachers.

    So this series I am collaborating with the Office of Australia's Women in STEM Ambassador, and I am working closely with Becky Laurence who is the Program Coordinator for Future You and her colleagues. And this episode talks about multi-modal tools and resources including short stories and films that have been designed and are available to showcase STEM careers with an aim of increasing participation of children in STEM, with a particular focus on girls.

    Emphasizing what each career brings to society, inspiration and aspiration, wonder and curiosity and relatable characters are all explored as Future You inspires future STEM professionals. And what I love about these resources is that they are not add ons or extras, rather they have a suite of classroom activities aligned activities that can be slotted into curriculum-aligned lesson plans.

    And as you reflect on this episode consider the questions…

    How will you support a curiosity in different ways to explore STEM field careers?What are the possibilities and multi-modal ways of knowing and being that you could integrate into your teaching?How can you change stereotypes and bias to inspire the future?

  • Teachers are responsible for shaping the future of our world. The influence we have over students and WHO those students become is huge. So in this series, Series 8 of Teachers Supporting Teachers, we talk about STEM careers, opportunities, futures and what is possible as we tap into the potential for pre-service teachers, teachers, educators, and students, especially young women - we dig deep into the what, why and how.

    Creativity, innovation, the arts and imagination also features an invitation for us to think about the ability to think as big as you want to think.

    We introduce Future You, a program with a focus on young women in the 8-12 age group coming out of the Australian Government’s Women in STEM Ambassador. The vision is to address the research that has shown that by the time young people finish primary school, they’ve made fairly important career decisions. So the influence of us as teachers is imperative!

    And as you reflect on this episode consider the questions…How are you going to help students dream big with STEM skills? How are you going to open up whole new worlds?
