1PP1 Professional Placement MA

Goals:

1. When  lesson planning make sure I am aware of the wide range of abilities in the class, and make sure I cater to the needs of every child.

– This is important to me when teaching as I feel that if I do this I am more likely to be able to gain more productive work from the children. In addition to this I can from past experience that the work you set children can affect there behavior. For example if  you give a child work that is to hard for them, they are likely to rebel. On the other end of the spectrum the child that finishes faster than everyone as the work is too easy for them; may distract others. Therefore I am using this as my goal as I also feel it will help with behavior management as well as meeting the needs of all the children.

2. Make sure I keep up to date with my reading.

-To me it is important to keep up to date with the reading as although I find it difficult it will benefit me when planning lessons and observing the class.

3. Build up a positive rapport with the class teacher and the children in my class.

-Building a relationship with the class is important to me as a student teacher as I believe this to be essential to not only the children’s learning; but my own as well.

I am aware that these may change during my weeks at the school, but for the moment these are the goals I would like to work on.
