Professional Placement MA1

Goals:

1. Know how to plan systematically for effective teaching and learning across different contexts and experiences.
2. Have detailed knowledge and understanding of the theory and practical skills required in curricular areas, referring to local and national guidance.
3. Engaging with all aspects of professional practice and working collegiately with all members of our educational communities with enthusiasm, adaptability and constructive criticality.

Reasoning for Goals:

1. My organisation skills are not of a high level and planning is key for a good lesson. Therefore, to be the best teacher I can be, I need to become more organised.
2. I grew up in Mallorca and due to this I have very limited knowledge on the Scottish history. Also, my grammar isn’t perfect as I went to a Spanish primary school.
3. Enthusiasm is a very important part of being a teacher. It increases the level of performance of the students, which is very important. Being a primary teacher you have to be open to adapting at all times as you never know what will happen during a day at school.
