Episode 52 of the Toddcast the Teacher Podcast: (Carmel Hamilton)

For the fifty-second episode of the Toddcast the Teacher Podcast I had the amazing privilege of interviewing my Grade 6 PE teacher and friend Carmel Hamilton. I was lucky enough to be taught by Carmel and she has been a very special teacher who inspired me to love learning and education and become a PE teacher. Carmel’s greatest strength was building positive relationships with every student she taught. To say Carmel is one of my favourite teachers is an understatement! 

Carmel has been in education for over 40 years in various schools, teaching Physical Education in both primary and secondary settings. 

Carmel discusses the following:

- Her teaching journey, why she became a teacher and her teacher role model/s.

- Greatest challenge and proudest moment as a teacher. 

- Where her passion for PE teaching came from.

- Key teaching tips and strategies when teaching PE.

- Best way to structure a PE lesson. 

- How to organise and structure term and yearly PE program. 

- How students’ physical abilities have changed over the years. 

- How to build positive relationships with students. 

- How to improve your PE teaching. 

- Todd’s Stock Exchange (Game).

I hope you enjoy this episode.
