My name is Hayley and I am the the girl behind Learning With Miss Hayley
I am 28 year old and live with my partner (a highschool math teacher) in Australia. We have two kitty fur-children: Percy and Coco. I love teaching, cooking, gardening, and trashy TV. I can't wait to share my teaching journey with you!
I began my career a little unsure of myself and a lot overwhelmed - I'm sure many can relate. I began in kindergarten and realized how hopelessly over my head I was when I had to actually teach this group of 22 small people to pull meaning from the symbols on the page in front of them. But as my time in the classroom went on I found myself constantly questioning - am I doing the best by my kids? Could I be teaching this better? Is there a better way to do this?
Cue the world of phonics. I realized there is a better way to do things, and it is frighteningly easy and simple. Trash the 'froo-froo' is what my literacy leader told me. I saw almost instant results, my students began to learn and apply what I was teaching them, they began to write, began to read, began to love learning and felt less frustrated with the tasks I was asking of them.
This blog will be dedicated to cutting through that froo-froo in teaching and promoting an evidence-based method of teaching that isn't just fun for the students, but works.
Thank you for joining me on this journey! I hope I can support not only my little learners, but you too!
