focus area 3.1: establish
challenging learning goals.
Rationale:
Through my experience on
placements and as a casual
teacher, I understand the
importance of setting
challenging learning goals that
encourage students to achieve
higher order thinking, whilst
also understanding that setting
learning goals that are too
challenging can deter students
from their learning. This focus
area has been identified by my
last supervising teacher, as an
area to further develop.

Programs.
Rationale:
On previous placements, I
have experienced how other
teachers implement the use of
positive reinforcement and
acknowledgement of good
behaviour, to effectively
manage a classroom. This is a
practice that I have witness to
show favourable outcomes in
the classroom, and therefore
would like to build on my own
skills in this area.
Goal 4: Professional
Engagement
To improve my professional
practice by seeking feedback
from supervising teachers
and implementing this in
future teaching.
This aligns with standard 6:

enables me to develop my
skills from more experienced
practitioners. Through previous
placements this has shown to
be extremely beneficial to
improving my own practice,
and therefore I would like to
continue working towards
these goals.

Other aims you may have for the professional placement:

 Present myself in a professional manner at all times.
 Be organised and prepared for each of my lessons
 Communicate with all staff to make collegial connections.
