Please complete this independently and discuss with your mentor/s at the end of Week 2. The purpose of this review is to ensure
that you can accurately assess your own performance and develop a plan for your personal development over the remaining weeks
of this professional experience.

Please provide written reflections regarding your areas of strength and areas needing improvement or further
development:
Professional Knowledge
I am able to effectively organise content into sequenced learning plans. I try to use a range of teaching strategies that
appeal to different learning styles.

Improvement:

I need to work on identifying and addressing students misconceptions. This could be addressed by specific questioning
and feedback (individually and in groups).

Professional Practice
I have been able to develop good relationships with my students. Also, I have been able to use a range of resources
including technology to engage students in their learning (Biology).

Improvement:
I need to develop my ability to provide students with explicit, step by step instruction.
Also, I need to vary the tone of my voice when giving instructions/telling off etc.
My voice projection can also be improved, particularly for PE.

Professional Engagement
I have been able to build effective relationships with students and staff. I have attended all meeting and am able to
collaborate effectively with my mentor teachers and others. I also seek feedback from my mentor teachers after each
lesson to improve in future lessons.

Improvement:
I could seek advice from other teachers that are not my mentors. Also, I could sit in on other teachers lessons in my
breaks to improve my professional knowledge and practice.
