No areas of concern
Managing Teaching & Learning
Teacher presence
• Uses body language (posture, walk the room while talking, make eye contact, and smile), voice (pauses,
voice variations, and tempo) and positions effectively to generate excitement and an active learning
classroom environment

• Speaks with energy and passion for higher student engagement

Strengths:
Very tight control and I think this is fine as it is a big class. It can take time to establish a routine and there
has been a lot of disruption.
“Manage the students before I manage the time.”
How do you keep the time management as a focus?
Implementing Learning

context

• Values teachable moments and adjusts teaching accordingly
Strengths:
The writing and the demonstrations were excellent. I think this was highly effective to get the students to

understand how they should write
I think this was fine and so do not let the discipline get away from you.
Assessing Learning
Records as evidence of learning for reporting to stakeholders

• Collects and analyses data from different sources (e.g., observations and running records
of learners’ performance, parental input, learners’ work samples)
• Records and interprets progress against the developmental and learning goals
• Maintains records of learners’ progress in a systematic way using learner portfolios
Strengths:
Lots of assessment and great peer assessment strategies.
Areas for improvement
How do you capture individual results?
Reflection
Reflecting on dispositions, PDP development, self-improvement, and importance of education

their knowledge, skills, beliefs, and attitudes

• Plans next step actions for professional development based on reflections
• Develops action plans to address areas for improvement based on self-reflection
• Reflects on progress against the personally generated action plans
Strengths:
Was not so happy today but the class was disruptive. Normally they are so good, but today they were
over active. Maybe it was a Monday, they had a visitor and new students in the class.
Find out why they were disrupted.
