SUMMARY COMMENTS by the SUPERVISING TEACHER

During his time at Prairiewood High School, Mr Pombo has been punctual, professional in his attire
and relationships with staff and students, worked with dedication and passion at a level well beyond
what was expected of him as a pre-service teacher. He has worked diligently and with success to
build relationships with our students, who represent a broad range of abilities and cultural contexts
and many for whom English is a second language, and with his teaching colleagues. Mr Pombo's
relational bridges have provided him with many opportunities to deliver learning content to our
students in an entertaining and engaging manner, which has been appreciated by the students and
by myself, as his mentoring teacher.
In particular, Mr Pombo draws effectively from the deep well of his personal experience as an
experienced engineer to educate our stage 5 and stage 6 engineering studens with real-life
examples of the relevance of what they are learning in the classroom. He has shown an affinity to
teaching concepts through well -placed questions and using objects to illustrate concepts. Mr
Pombo has embraced has prepared and facilitated numerous practical experiences for our students,
which, despite the challenges of a new environment, have been largely successful and effective
avenues to reinforce the course content. He has demonstrated a facility for using ICT and has used
this to good effect to balance out his speaking and demonstrating presentation. This has been
particularily well received by our more visually and kinesthetically oriented learners.
Despite his extensive professional experience outside the teaching profession, Mr Pombo has been
eager and willing to listen to advice and to learn new skills in the classroom and in the workshop
from the staff at Prairiewood High school across a variety of key learning areas.
It is my opinion that he is well-prepared to enter employment as a professional teacher.
It has been a pleasure to work with him these past 9 weeks and I am convinced he will enjoy a
productive and rewarding career as a TAS teacher.
