Hello, Steemit, from some Sydney school teachers.

Hi, all.
This is my first post here on Steemit, so I'd like to briefly introduce myself.

I'm a passionate primary educator from Sydney, Australia, who has been teaching years K - 6 for just over 5 years. I work at culturally diverse primary school, in a relatively low socio-economic demographic area in south-western Sydney, roughly 50 kilometres from my home.

My wife, Bianca is also a passionate educator from Sydney, Australia, who has been teaching secondary English for close to 15 years. She works in a comparatively less culturally diverse, selective (students must pass a competitive entry exam in order to attend) secondary school, in a relatively high socio-economic demographic area in north-eastern Sydney, roughly 10 kilometres from our home.

Whilst we both work in vastly different contexts, one of the main things that gets us fired up an enthusiastic about our profession, and ultimately unites us, is our commitment to leading changes to pedagogy within the Australian schooling system. We are strong advocates for future-focussed, student-centred, Project Based Learning. Also, we both work within the public sector and believe that education is a social that should be available to all.

If you're reading this, it's likely that you may not really be into the Wordpress thing, but if you'd like to learn more about some of the things we've done previously, then you're welcome to hit up our Wordpress blogs.

I’ll mostly be writing about education here, but may also post photos and reflections of our school holiday journeys around Australia and the world.

Hope you enjoy.

Lee.
