Through my diverse experiences as a second year pre-service teacher, including placements at a Flexible Learning Options School and a rural high school, I have cultivated a comprehensive understanding of designing differentiated lessons and implementing inclusive teaching strategies. These experiences have honed my ability to foster positive and engaging learning environments that cater to the unique needs of all students.
- Observed a differentiated style of teaching for a small class of students with a variety of neurological and behavioural issues.
- Created Individual Lesson Plans (ILP) for students often working with them for entire lessons.
- Designed a transition learning document for a student transitioning back into mainstream learning.
- Completed large quantities of student marking and reflections with my mentor teacher.
- Observation of mentor teacher across a variety of classes, analysing the teachers pedagogical methods.
- Taught individual lessons to students who needed further help for specific areas of study.
- Designed and created lesson plans for entire days with a focus on differentiated teaching to account for the diverse student cohort.
- Taught whole class lessons as the main teacher with the mentor simply observing.
