As teachers I feel that it is critical to continue learning and updating what we already know with current resources and technology available to us. Using the Australian curriculum as a guide there can be many different subjects and material that need to be updated and changed all the time, each teacher needs to be up to date and know what is going on where. Within the seven Australian Professional Standards for Teachers- Graduate level, each focus aims to demonstrate something different within each, intending to cover every aspect of the teaching environment.
At the moment I am currently studying an ESL subject, it is a real eye opener and a subject worth while doing, I am gaining a lot of information and ideas to help with teaching English as a Second Language. Sub-strand 1.3 explains the knowledge of teaching strategies that strengthen learning’s needs of the individual student through many diverse backgrounds and environments each student many come from.
ICT is moving forward at such a rapid pace that I find it hard to keep up to date, in the near future I aim to attend the ICT Integration Course and further my understand and knowledge on ICT and how to effectively use this tool of teaching within the classroom. I feel that this is critical as students today have an understanding of electronic devices and how they work and the society we live in today uses technology everywhere. Being current with today’s technology will not only help me teach students effectively but will also provide me the opportunity to teach students to be technology safe and how to use technology in a safe and practical manner.
Other courses that I feel would be beneficial to strengthen my professional teaching are
· Classroom management workshops
· Inclusive classrooms workshops
· Behaviour workshops
I endeavor to have these completed within 5 years of teaching to strengthen and further develop my understanding of ways to be an effective and inclusive teacher within the classroom environment.
