Describe the artefact / document and indicate the
possible impact or result on teaching and/ or student
learning
The feedback was provided by my mentor
teacher at the end of a lesson where I was
able to successfully implement strategies to
support student participation and
engagement within the classroom. My
mentor provided constructive feedback that
I am able to utilise in my current and future
teaching in regards to the effectiveness of
the strategies employed. According to
Hattie and Timperley (2007), feedback is
one of the most powerful influences on
learning and achievement. Therefore,
receiving constructive feedback, I am able
to drive my own teaching and learning and
thus heighten student learning.
Describe how the artefact / document
meet the standard descriptors you have
identified.
The artefact of feedback supports
inclusion of students within
classroom activities as I was able
to use positive reward systems
and redirect students who may
have moved off task [APST 4.1].
According to the feedback, I was
able to organise and manage
classroom activities by providing
support and roaming around the
room as students worked [APST
4.2].
Together with this, I was able to
manage and guide any
challenging behaviour I was
faced with by trying different
strategies that would work for me
including the use of a tambourine
to regain attention when class
became too loud [APST 4.3].
