PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE GOALS

Giving consideration to your course work and your expectations of this professional
experience, state the objectives to which you intend to give highest priority in this
teaching practice session.
N.B. 1. This task must be completed and discussed with your Professional
Experience Subject Coordinator
prior to the commencement of your placement.
2. These objectives will form the basis of the targets for your teaching sessions.

success.
Goal
Goal 1:

Actions you will take to

work towards the goal
Focus Area 2.2

Indicators of achievement of
goal
Focus Area 2.2

Standard 2: Know the

content and how to
teach it

Organise content into effective

learning and teaching
sequences.

Goal 2:

Focus Area 1.5

For this placement I will work

closely with my associate
teacher to see how to construct
then implement an interesting
and diverse lesson plan. Once I
have understood and seen this
in action I hope to take the next
step and enact this myself. I will
then take onboard feedback for
improvement.
Focus Area 1.5

Standard 1: Know
students and how
they learn

Demonstrate knowledge and

understanding of strategies for
differentiating teaching to
meet the specific teaching
needs of students across the
full range of abilities.

Goal 3:

Focus Area 3.4

Standard 3: Plan for

and implement
effective teaching and
learning

Demonstrate knowledge of a
range of resources, including
ICTs that engage students in
their learning.

To achieve this goal I will work

closely with my associate
teacher to understand the
learning level of the students,
which fall into higher and lower
levels of achievement. I will
then try to cater enough work
of a challenging nature for the
higher achievers while tailoring
work to scaffold those on the
lower end of the spectrum.
Focus Area 3.4
For this goal I will attempt to
engage students by using
numerous different resources to
stimulate student learning.
Video clips, newspapers
articles, YouTube,
laptop/tablets,
handouts/worksheets,
textbooks and websites will all

Goal 4:

Focus Area 4.3

Standard 4: Create
and maintain
supportive and safe
learning
environments.

Demonstrate knowledge of
practical approaches to
manage challenging behavior.

be utilised within the classroom

to keep students engaged and
on task.
Focus Area 4.3

This will be the most important

goal that I attempt to complete.
Keeping a class engaged is not
going to be possible at all
times. I will work closely with
my associate teacher in the first
week to get comfortable with
the classroom environment and
to monitor how my teacher
keeps the class engaged with
learning. I will from the outset
create guidelines of what I
expect of the students and
apply this consistently to the
students.
Other aims you may have for the professional experience:

Become an active and enthusiastic member of staff and endeavor to make a

positive impact on the staff and students at the school

Learn as much about the school including staff, students and culture.
