6.1 Identify and plan professional learning needs
'Alex was totally committed to his teaching and made huge efforts to ensure that his methodologies and pedagogy was contemporary, accurate and inspiring' (Gleeson Report).
Having sought to address each standard at a graduate level as well as address an ICT elaboration for each standard I am confident I have a good understanding of the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. In discussions with all my mentors following each lesson we were able to identify specific areas of improvement. At Gleeson my mentor gave me one extra thing to focus on each lesson and this really helped me focus on professional developing specific skills such as tone and positioning in the class room.
