Comments:
Alice has catered for all the students within her diverse psychology classroom
through her topic plans, delivery of information and scaffolding. She has adapted her
teaching style to ensure that all students are engaged and on task, even including
musical aspects within the learning activities. Alice has good content knowledge of
the psychology curriculum and has demonstrated this through her topic plans,
learning activities, and development of summative assessments. Alice ensures that
the language she is using within the classroom is clear and structured, but also
includes some psychological jargon and links to the VCAA academic standards for the
outcome. Through experiments and learning activities, Alice is always vigilant in
ensuring that the safety needs of her students have been met and that her classes
are welcoming and inviting for all students. Alices focus on study skills has impacted
the students positively and clearly outlines her ability to look beyond the specific
needs of the students to something broader that is adaptable to all their other
subjects, and also other places within their lives.
