Standard 3

During my professional experiences, I applied my personal knowledge of content

to match student interests. I needed to establish achievable but challenging
learning goals for all students to successfully complete (3.1). I managed to do
this by planning and implementing lessons using my knowledge and
understandings of how students learn and what interests them (3.2).
I included a range of teaching strategies to develop knowledge and
understandings, this involved images and text that effectively engaged students
and supported participation (3.3).
The resources impacted on student learning as they were able to visualise and
relate to the activities, such as, dogs and puppies within the PowerPoint
presentation (3.4). I clearly and concisely delivered spoken and visual directions
for students to engage in activities and complete tasks (3.5). It also applied
higher order thinking questions and made the students think about what they
know and what they think they know. It also allowed me to recognise where each
student is at and how I could effectively improve my teaching and lessons (3.6). I
consulted with parents and carers informally and formally daily to ensure they
were aware of my programs and activities which professionally allowed them to
be a part of their childs learning and progress (3.7).
