Abby Sturm

Humpybong State School

Every day welcomes a positive new beginning in Abby Sturm’s classroom.

The Year 2 teacher, who goes above and beyond to provide inclusion support for all students, has been nominated for the 2017 QCT Excellence in Beginning to Teach Award.
​
Abby’s classroom environment at Humbybong State School in Redcliffe features a variety of accommodations for individual students and their needs, including an ASD student who struggles particularly with controlling his verbal and physical behaviour.
Picture
Sloped desks, finger grips, fine-motor gadgets, an interactive whiteboard and several digital technology options are available to help students discover their own learning styles.

Abby works as an integral member of the Year 2 teaching team, who have successfully implemented the New Pedagogies for Deep Learning (NPDL) strategy that allows students to learn new skills, develop perseverance and most importantly ‘give it a go’.
​
Congratulations Abby on your nomination.
