Activity 2
- Complete the audit below, using the information from the table above.
| Recognition | Reflection | Action |
| Skills already developed | How I will use these | How do I know (evidence)** |
| Self DisciplineSet personal goals | I will be able to focus on my work at university and motivate myself to achieve the best I can. I will inspire my future classes to set their own personal goals, whether it is to be a doctor or simply to learn their spellings and encourage them to work towards these goals | |
| Team workTake responsibility
Build social networks |
Team work is essential in working in a school with the other staff and getting along with them to make the school a happy, encouraging environment. I will also use these skills to work with other people from other professions. | |
| Make presentationsListen to others
Take notes Write for academic purposes |
I will be making presentations as part of my course assessments and also in the future I will make presentations to show to my classes in order to e.g. introduce them to a topic. I am a good listener which is a good quality to have in order to develop/ maintain trusting relationships with my students and other staff members so they feel they can tell me if they have any problems. I will be taking notes in university in order to help me focus and remember points from lectures which I can then research and back-up with what I learn from my reading. | |
| Be creative | Creativity is another great quality to have in order to think of different ways to engage pupils and to inspire them to be imaginative and creative | |
| Organise and plan | I will be organising my work at university and planning effectively so I can have assignments etc completed in good time of the deadline. It helps me to not waste time and in the future will be helpful when organising class lesson plans and trips etc. | |
| Recognition | Reflection | Action |
| Skills to be developed | How I will develop these | How do I know (evidence) ** |
| FlexibilitySelf Confidence
Work Under Pressure Take Risks Sharing opinion confidently |
I think these skills will develop more as I go through my course. On placement I will take more risks and develop flexibility by being more open minded and aware that I may have to make last-minute changes to a plan. My self confidence will develop as I give presentations as part of my assignments and teach at the front of class on placement. This will enable me to share my opinion more confidently. I will learn to work better under pressure as exam time starts and as I will have assignments to complete before a deadline. | |
| Manage timeAct as a leader
Negotiate |
My time management skills will increase as I organise lesson plans and start working outside of my lectures. I will develop my leadership skills as I go into placement and look after the class. As my confidence develops my leadership and negotiating skills will develop. | |
| Debate formally and informallyContribute to discussions
Converse confidently |
My debating and conversing skills will develop as my confidence develops. Also as part of my online unit I have to participate in discussions so this will develop these skills. | |
| Computing skillsUse technology | My technology/computing skills will develop as I start to update my eportfolio and also as i explore more into the world of using technology in teaching | |
| Problem solvingGenerating new ideas
Work on own initiative Think critically Evaluate information |
These skills will develop as my confidence develops and as I think reflectively as part of my eportfolio. | |
