This professional are will be
achieved when I can teach
confidently about the traditional

land and what the rights they

Once I know my students and

Behaviour management is a

suggestions from previous
associate teachers and current
teaching staff.

feedback and
report on student

Assessment is an area of my
professional practice that needs
to be developed because I
havent had much experience
yet. Being able to correctly
interpret students data will assist
with my teaching strategies and
overall judgement of students.

to the fact that I am not yet a

interacting with professionals.
When I have other teachers
coming to me for advice I will like
I have achieved this standard.
Standard 7 -

professionally

parents/carers
and the
community

I need to make myself more
aware of the legislative,
administrative and organisational
requirements so I know what I
am to aim for. Again with
parents/carers I do not feel
confident yet in how I will
interact with them. I think this is
another aspect that will have to
do with experience and
professionalism in how I act.
