FEEDBACK AND REPORTING
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
supportive environment
meaningful practicum. I believe that this school provides a fantastic environment for
the considered application
of pedagogical strategies, and appreciated the opportunity to implement many of the
approaches I consider significant to my teaching philosophy. I found the discussions I
held with my mentor teacher, and other members of staff to be tremendously beneficial,
and have no doubt that respectful, professional dialogue is
invaluable in the development of quality teaching. I particularly commend the school's
approach to professional development, and believe that the environment within the ASMS
is one that encourages professional excellence. As part of this process, I had the
opportunity to be part of an action research project, where I considered the role of
digital literacy within an interdisciplinary curriculum.
University Liaison: Summary statement
Harvey is to be congratulated on completing a successful practicum. His professionalism
and subject knowledge allowed him to develop a very positive rapport with his students.
His thorough lesson planning enabled him to create and teach interesting and engaging
lessons which ensured most students and their learning styles were catered for in a
positive and inclusive environment. His strength is in his organisational abilities and
this will hold him in good stead when he becomes a teacher. Harvey also demonstrated the
ability to reflect on the effectiveness of his lessons and was able to modify
accordingly. As he related well to
students and had sound behaviour management skills he completed a successful practicum
which indicates a positive future as a teacher.
School Coordinator: Final Comments (optional)
Harvey was comfortable in working in the ASMS learning environment, he made the most of
the flexibility and openness of the space and in working in teacher teams. Harvey made
many valuable contributions to the learning design and worked confidently with the
interdisciplinary curriculum. Harvey's interest in learning more about the school, our
community and the students he was working with was clearly evident.
