Overview

I am a fourth year education student who is interested in the areas of Studies of Religion and English. My previous placements were at a co-ed school and a girls school where I taught both curriculums respectively to cohorts from year 8 to year 12. My most interesting experience was when I co-taught an accelerated class which began the year 11 Studies of Religion syllabus, totaling close to 5 intensive days.

I am looking forward to improving my practice and understanding of the curriculums, professional learning and trialing new teaching strategies. Although I recognise that I have a long way to go in my practice, and I also believe that as a preservice teacher I bring in a unique perspective on teaching. I aim to learn lots about teaching while on my professional experience placement, and hope to observe and practice a range of teaching strategies to address all learning needs. I find that a good education is the integration of positive and thoughtful teaching.
