as
well
as
to
give
children
in
these
communities
opportunities
to
have
positive
experiences
within
education.
This
is
due
to
children
in
these
kinds
of
communities
not
always
having
the
benefit
or
chance
to
complete
their
education
and
one
of
the
main
reasons
is
due
to
the
remoteness
of
the
community.
This
program
also
provides
and
gives
children
the
opportunity
outside
of
their
normal
schooling
the
chance
to
share
their
life
experiences
with
visitors
that
have
come
to
their
communities,
which
can
then
relieve
any
boredom
experienced
when
school
is
not
on
and
keep
them
out
of
trouble
(Reece.
L
2006).
2. Provide evidence of how the project aims were met or not met and why, with reference to relevant
educational theory/or literature or policy cited in the plan.
During
my
six-week
placement
the
students
were
able
to
start
their
own
picture
books
enjoying
themselves
in
the
process
and
having
fun
while
doing
it.
For
me
that
was
my
main
aim
after
arriving
in
the
Northern
Territory
and
working
with
the
students
for
a
week
or
two.
Even
though
the
students
have
been
unable
to
finish
them
by
the
end
of
the
six-weeks
and
it
would
have
been
nice
for
the
students
to
own
something
they
have
created
and
feel
proud
of,
being
my
main
goal
coming
into
the
six
weeks
in
a
remote
aboriginal
community,
they
were
able
to
start
something
great
that
they
could
share
with
numerous
amounts
of
people
and
have
something
exciting
to
look
forward
to
at
school.
After
getting
to
know
the
students
and
work
with
them
for
a
bit
my
main
aim
changed
and
never
became
my
intention
for
the
students
to
finish
the
books
in
the
end,
as
my
main
goal
out
of
this
whole
experience
became
getting
the
students
to
have
a
go
and
having
them
write
some
simple
sentences
about
a
recount
in
their
life.
As
recounts
are
one
of
the
main
focuses
in
the
students
literacy
time,
in
teaching
students
how
to
order
events
from
beginning
to
end,
it
seemed
to
fit
my
aim
of
the
project.
As
I
believe
that
every
student
has
the
right
to
a
fair
education
and
be
given
many
opportunities
to
improve,
grow
and
succeed
in
order
to
live
the
best
life
possible
since
Indigenous
students
experience
poorer
educational
outcomes
than
their
non-
Indigenous
counterparts
in
terms
of
achievement,
participation,
attendance
and
experience
of
school
(Krause,
Bochner
&
Duchesne
2006,
p.
341).
Giving
the
students
an
opportunity
to
look
forward
to
something
like
writing
their
own
picture
book,
gives
them
motivation
to
learn
something
new
and
attend
school
in
order
for
them
to
participate
in
projects
and
activities
that
are
engaging
and
exciting.
3. Comment on progress according to your Action Plan and advise of any changes to this plan and the
reasons for any changes.
The
progress
of
the
SWiRL
books
throughout
the
six
weeks
at
Manyallaluk
School
in
the
Northern
Territory
is
that
we
were
able
to
start
them
with
students
being
able
to
come
up
with
their
story
ideas
and
start
writing
some
sentences
but
we
were
unable
to
finish
them.
According
to
the
action
plan
we
would
have
been
able
to
complete
them
by
the
last
week
if
we
had
been
able
to
stick
to
it,
but
due
to
the
nature
of
the
students
schooling
and
how
everything
is
constantly
changing
with
lessons
and
other
things
that
come
up
and
unexpectedly
occur
that
I
was
unable
to
stick
to
the
plan
I
had
made.
Due
to
my
aims
changing
throughout
the
weeks
of
being
at
the
schools
and
working
with
the
students,
it
never
became
my
aim
to
finish
as
much
as
for
the
students
to
just
have
fun
and
look
forward
to
something
they
have
an
opportunity
to
do.
Since
we
had
started
the
books
in
the
third
week
instead
of
the
first
week,
time
was
not
exactly
on
our
side,
as
the
books
would
have
taken
some
time
to
complete
due
to
needing
to
work
with
the
students
one
on
one
in
order
to
help
and
guide
the
students
along
and
help
them
understand
what
they
needed
to
do.
Due
to
these
constraints
and
reasons
we
were
unable
to
finish
the
books
but
that
was
fine
as
long
as
the
students
had
fun
and
enjoyed
themselves
while
participating
in
the
project.
4. Evaluation
I
am
very
privileged
to
be
a
part
of
the
program
this
year
as
I
believe
every
student
has
the
right
to
a
fair
education
and
be
given
many
opportunities
to
improve,
grow
and
succeed
in
order
to
live
the
best
life
possible
since
Indigenous
students
educational
outcomes
as
well
as
attendance
and
experiences
have
a
more
poorer
outcome
than
their
non-Indigenous
counterparts.
Education
inequality
has
and
is
becoming
more
prevalent
in
our
society
as
a
childs
school
outcome
does
not
arise
from
individual
characteristics
but
are
reflected
through
family
and
environmental
factors
(Krause,
Bochner
&
Duchesne
2006,
p
339).
I
believe
that
I
could
try
and
make
a
difference
in
these
students
lives
and
give
students
an
overall
more
positive
experience
in
their
education
as
schooling
should
be
a
fun,
exciting
and
safe
place
for
students
to
attend
to
receive
the
best
opportunities
available
in
order
to
learn
skills
and
great
things
that
they
can
use
in
their
Bachelor of Education (P-12) Year Four ACP - Report 2015

everyday
lives
and
future
as
I
have
seen
happening
numerous
amounts
of
times
during
my
stay
at
the
school.
From
what
I
was
able
to
do
and
complete
with
the
students
I
believe
was
successful
in
the
sense
that
the
students
were
able
to
write
a
few
sentences
and
recount
what
they
had
done
previously
or
in
the
past,
being
able
to
retell
a
story
as
ordering
events
in
sequence
is
one
of
the
important
aspects
of
literacy
here
at
the
school
and
being
able
to
contribute
that
in
some
way
and
form
is
a
good
thing
and
most
importantly
the
students
had
fun
while
doing
it.

Professional skills displayed by the preservice teacher in the completion of the project
(ACP Mentor Teacher (or nominee) to complete)
Carisa took the opportunity to use afternoon sessions in the third week of the placement to begin with the
project. She planned her sessions with the children and used the time to communicate one on one with the
children. Time management proved a challenge, although over the project Carisa gradually began to try to
ensure an appropriate amount of time for packing up and organisation during and at the end of sessions.
The one on one time enabled Carisa to have practical experience of the display between the language and
lives of the children she has worked with and despite the actual books being unable to be completed, she has
been able to see and experience the complications in remote Indigenous communities and educational settings
generally that affect such projects, in articular attendance and mobility.
More focus on communicating with Indigenous adults in the community would have enabled Carisa to relate
places, people and animals of interest to the children. This is turn helps to provide content and understanding
for shared texts.
