PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE
1. Know students and how they learn
Madalin was familiar with students in her class and was able to identify students who may need assistance or
extension work
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
3. Plan for and implement effective teaching and learning
(Lesson outline prepared, resources accessible for all learners, learning outcomes were accessible to students, suitable adjustments provided for
varied learning abilities, use of technology, used suitable teaching strategies and methods, appropriate tone for the lesson and audience, well
sequenced, effective use of questioning, gave clear explanations)
All of the above were evident.
Madalin began by recapping previous learning. Students had identified what they knew about the sun, moon and
Earth and placed this information on Sticky notes on the wall.
They had also identified some questions that they would like answers to in areas where their knowledge lacked.
Instructions to students about today’s lesson were fairly clear and on the one occasion when there was a bit of
confusion students asked for clarification.
Once outside most students remained on task and Madalin reiterated the purpose of the lesson and re-engaged
some students.
Back in class students discussed their findings.
Throughout the lesson key words were reiterated and explained eg rotate, sphere, axis.
The lesson followed the lesson plan.
Some students spontaneously went to check what they did not know before the lesson and what they had learned.
Suggestion; at the end of this unit of work revisit what the students knew before and what they know now and move
the sticky notes over. Investigate any remaining areas for learning left on the sticky notes.
PROFESSIONAL ENGAGEMENT
6.Engage in professional learning
Feedback from the Mentor confirms that Madalin engages with others in a professional manner and attends staff
meetings and has borrowed books regarding differentiation in the classroom.
Madalin you are clearly enjoying your prac and doing a great job. You have established sound relationships with
students, your mentor and others. Your planning and confidence in delivery of the lesson were evident.
As above, recap with the students at the end of the unit identifying what they have learnt.
