PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE TEACHING GOALS (300-400 words)
Follow the advice given in the EPT329 Guide to Professional Experience Placement and our
Subject Outline, as well as our online modules/face-to-face workshops regarding how to complete
this template.
GOAL AND RATIONALE
Goal 1: Professional Knowledge
To learn how to use behavioural
management techniques in and
out of the classroom in a
secondary school context.
Standard 4: Create and maintain
supportive and safe learning
environments; 4.3 Manage
challenging behaviour.
By achieving this goal in EPT329
practicum I will be able to
demonstrate in future practicums
that I have the ability to meet the
above standard, but not just show
that I have the ability, but be able to
efficiently demonstrate my ability.
Goal 2: Professional Practice
To establish effective teaching
sequences in teaching one topic
over multiple lessons, while
maintaining lesson structure.
Standard 3: Plan for and implement
effective teaching and learning; 3.2
Plan Structure and sequence
learning programs
By establishing effective teaching
sequences in the secondary context,
I believe that this will enhance not
only my teaching as a whole, but
also my classroom management
plans (because the students will be
engaged in what is occurring).
Goal 3: Professional Engagement
To engage with a range of
parents/guardians of the students
with whom I have a teaching-
student relation to improve my
communication abilities.
ACTION
In being able to achieve this goal I
will try to do the following:-
1. Establish the issues
surrounding the situation
(if the issue is not directed
at me (being the teacher);
2. Maintain class direction
and attention; and
3. Establish positive
relationships while
dealing with any issues.
To achieve this goal, I will need to
discuss the sequences with the
supervising teacher prior to the class
and have the supervising teacher as
well as the students complete an
evaluation of the sequences and
their effectiveness.
I will need to do the following to
achieve this goal:-
1. Speak to parents/guardians
on a range of issues, such
as daily school life activities
and behavioural
management issues;
2. Speak to parents/guardians
EVIDENCE
In completing the
actionable items (to the
left), I will keep detailed
notation of what happened
and including a detailed
evaluation of the situation
and how it was resolved.
I will also keep notes of the
student in the proceeding
lessons to compare (as it
may be my style of teaching
that the student has an
issue with).
Being able to reflect on my
teaching will not only show
my achievement of the
standard but also the
Professional Knowledge
and Understanding
standard of the
Professional Standards.
Copy of lesson plans
showing sequence of
events;
Work completed by
students showing the
completed sequence;
Evaluations from
supervising teacher; and
Evaluations from students
about the engagement
levels of activities and the
effectiveness.
The main ways to collect
evidence for this goal is
meeting notes and notes on
discussions with students.
Confirmation (in writing)
from my supervising
teacher stating that I have
this will aid in meeting the
 at school council meetings goal.
Standard 7: Engage professionally (this will also allow me to
with colleagues, parents/careers and see parental views on
the community; 7.3 Engage with school issues, which is not
parents/guardians. a standard, but an issue
that is important).
This is to both add to my portfolio,
but to also practise approaching
teachers/guardians. In being able to
communicate with parents and or
guardians it will not only enhance my
ability to actually do this activity in
the future, but it will allow me to be
prepared for when I actually have to
do it on my own.

Other aims you may have for the professional experience:

Attend departmental meetings and see how these operate compared to whole staff meetings and
see how the conversation about students differ between the different departmental meetings.
