observing both AT but also working alongside a team of four has been a really good
learning experience. I am able to reflect on the differences between myself and the
other PST and am able to reflect on my strengths and weaknesses in comparison. From
staff meetings and personal learning I have been able to witness the expected
behaviours of a teachers in such an environment but have also been able to incorporate
knowledge acquired into my lessons.
My goals for the remainder of the round are:
Domain 1
Standard 1 - Know students and how they learn
Standard 2 Know the content and how to teach it
Although I have been effective at using a variety of resources for my students needs I
think I need to strengthen my use of these resources and make sure lacking strength in
the rest of my lesson plan does not waste them.
Domain 2
Standard 3 Plan for and implement effective teaching and learning
Standard 4 Create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments
Standard 5 Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning
While I may be preplanning my lesson plans prior to the lesson I need to spend longer
ensuring I am clear on what I plan on doing and seek areas where I can slip up. By
ensuring I know the content and what I plan to teach ensures that the students will
remain engaged and challenged. I think continuing to make activities that stimulate the
whole class like this will result in a successful outcome in the future.
My explanation of tasks when setting them lacks confidence and therefore I do not feel
that the students get a good grasp of what I am asking them. I feel that the students are
able to gauge my lack of confidence at some stages and that I need to pull myself
together so my lessons dont fall apart completely.
Domain 3
Standard 6 Engage in Professional Learning
Standard 7 Engage Professionally with colleagues, parents/carers and the community
I have really appreciated being able to work alongside my Associate teacher as the
feedback I have received has made me feel a lot more confident. The constructive
criticism allows me to understand what has been effective and ineffective about my
teaching technique for that lesson and allows me to evaluate and make improvements.
-From staff meetings and PLT opportunities being able to discuss and see the school
and teachers at work has been something really great, all the teachers are happy to
assist and give advice for lessons and my planning and learning as well as my over all
teaching experience.
More specifically my goals for the completion of placement are seeking to improve on
my presence in the classroom, finding my voice and ensuring that the children listen to
me when I have something to say. Ensuring that I am clear and concise with my
expectations of the task including what is required of the task. Making sure that what I
am teaching makes sense and that the vocabulary is suited to the age group of whom I
am teaching. And to make the most of the resources I am provided with to teach the
children, especially with my use of the interactive whiteboard.
