Rationale: 500 words

My placement at Evans High school Blacktown will be as a support officer. I will majorly
mentor subjects like Mathematics and English. The placement will be highly helpful in
planning the lectures for students with Mathematics and English. The placement will provide
opportunities for assessing the resources which are required for understanding the typical
English and Maths lectures. As I am going through the school’s details, considering the
technological requisite, the school seems to upgrade its resources for familiarising students
with mathematics topics. It makes use of pathways for familiarising students with the maths
topics and making them easy for all. I am also going through school’s website and checked its
results for last 5 years for assessing school’s performance and am also comparing with other
prestigious schools. I am also checking about school’s performance and techniques which are
used for all types of students. I will have to support and teach high schools students and will
also try to understand their issues with the subject and their coursework and assignment work.
I am sure that I will address number of issues which are currently faced by students and also
will learn to formed varied strategies and actions which can be used for improvising their
situation and easing complex situations for them.

The practical application of teaching will help me in gaining number of skills and teaching
techniques. In the teaching coursework, apart from knowledge skills, it is also vital to
understand the issues which are confronted by students in grasping skills and mathematics
techniques. Classroom strategies are another thing which I will learn as these depict the way in
which students with different background and different capabilities understand the complex
techniques. I am also aware with the fact that every student is capable of grasping knowledge
and techniques. But, the human factors such as confidence, enthusiasm, sincerity, and focus
play crucial in learning new concepts and techniques. There has been enough technological
advancement and my view is to constantly make use of this technology in advancing students
with newer concepts. I will share all my views and technical knowledge with my future
supporting officer as I know that different students have different knowledge and varied
capacity in understanding topics. The teaching experience must be necessarily easy, enjoyable,
free and hassle-free so as to motivate students for generating their interest in education and also
for motivating them to use innovative intellect skills towards teaching experience. My overall
opinion about my future placement is to make use of technological advancement skills which
create interests of all students and allow them to think differently. The subjects like

mathematics are technical one which involves learning newer concepts and also has a lot of
practical aspects of learning. On the other hand, English is language subject which necessarily
needs regular learning to improve grammar and skills. Language is vital in every aspect of
profession and life. I will also focus on the fact that due to difference in education interest,
some students might not learn in proper way, they must be taught to learn in a more interesting
manner.
