Teaching Practice

What does teaching practice mean?
It is how I:

• use my professional knowledge and understanding of students, curriculum, legislation, teaching practices, and classroom management strategies to promote the learning and achievement of my pupils.
• communicate effectively with students, parents, and colleagues
• conduct ongoing assessment, evaluates achievement, and report results to students and their parents regularly
• uses appropriate technology in my teaching practices and related professional responsibilities
• Differentiate instructional strategies and resources using student data
• Engage students in making learning choices, pursuing knowledge on their own; and working cooperatively or independently to develop, research, and complete learning tasks of their own design
• Vary activities and assessments to meet the learning styles and needs of a range of students
