My first goal for my MA1 placement is to gain abilities in planning and teaching across the different curricular areas in a number of settings. (SPR section 2.1.3)
Secondly I aim to gain an understanding of the ways that I can develop positive relationships and behaviour strategies within the classroom.(SPR section 3.2.2)
I also think that it is important for me to gain experience in attempting to set lessons at a pace that is appropriate for all learners and be aware of some of the barriers that may affect the speed that certain children learn. (SPR section 3.1.4)
Last but not least my final goal for my first placement is to look critically at my own personal and professional beliefs and if need be, make changes in order to improve how I perform as a teacher. (SPR section 1)
