As an employee of the Education
Department, it is a requirement that we
engage in a Performance Management
process. At Campbell Primary School, we
complete a 3-step process including self-
reflection, a planning meeting/classroom
observation, and a review meeting.
Throughout this process I was able to
highlight areas of strength in my teaching
skills as well as areas to improve.

 I completed a meaningful self-
reflection which I was able to act on
in attempt to improve my teaching
and learning programs. During the
self-reflection phase I identified a
need to integrate ICT into the Dance
program and ensure that I am
achieving all the cross-curricular
priorities.
Summarise the results of the action and/or the
professional growth that occurred. What was the
result of your action? How do you know? What
went well?
 I evidenced my ability to organise
content in a coherent and effective
learning sequence throughout my
classroom observation.
 I was able to action my self-reflection
and effectively integrate the use of
ICT into the Dance program. I have
done this by giving students the
opportunity to reflect on their ability
in Dance, future goals, and their use
of the Creative Habits of Learning
using ICT as a learning tool.
 I improved my classroom displays by
ensuring I had visual prompts for
positive audience member skills.
