FEEDBACK AND REPORTING
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
supportive environment
I feel confident in my ability as a teacher to plan and deliver content and assessment
using the Australian Curriculum and SACSA, classroom and behaviour management, and
building positive relationships with staff and students.
Being placed at a country area school has provided me with the opportunity to not only
get to know my students, but also to get to know the whole school community and I was
able to form positive relationships between the staff, students and the community. It
has also allowed me to demonstrate my flexibility and combine my classes with other
classes when their teacher was absent.
I was also given the opportunity to work with a diverse range of students with various
social and cultural backgrounds, needs, skills and abilities. This has helped me to
develop my ability to understand how students work, how to deliver and modify content in
a way certain students could understand and how to be flexible.
Overall, I have had a valuable learning experience that I was sad to leave behind. I
leave feeling more confident in my teaching abilities.

interest in their lives. Stephanie always reflected on her lessons, seeing how
the content and activities impacted on the students learning. I was
particularly impressed with her drama lesson. It was clear the lesson built on
the previous lessons as the students enthusiastically engaged in familiar activities
and had the confidence and trust to take on the challenge of new role
plays. She used a good variety of
strategies to gain the students attention. Her expectations were very explicit
and she used a slide show to reinforce the details and new material. The goals
of her lesson were clear and she managed the time to ensure the students had
time to create, collaborate and perform. The students were very complimentary about how
Stephanie explained things well and made the lessons fun and interesting.
