Throughout my practicums I was able to attend two full day PD sessions.
At VHHS we looked at benchmarking and student feedback forms that was able to assist me greatly in improving my practice. This day required different subject groups to congregate with pieces of work to assist in benchmarking and evaluating a common assessment task. The purpose was to develop a way to measure progress from before and after particular units of work. The day also involved evaluating and interpreting student feedback data for the teachers so they could identify and create action plans to improve on areas in the teaching process.
At Gleeson we had a day that focussed on spirituality and community service with the CEO of St Vincent De Pauls as a guest speaker. This day was about thinking about what we could do for the community as a whole in the name of God. We were encourage to think about the impact Jesus had on the lives of the less fortunate and what impact we could have in our own community.

MY PD SESSION
Below is a PD session I designed on differentiation. Being able to differentiate is an important tool for all educators and provides vital opportunities for our students. Through building this PD session and finding the resources I was able to fully understand its importance and a number of strategies to help me, help them.
