I got the students in my Year 8 class to work in groups of varying
abilities in progressing with their wooden stools. Students helped one
another complete the marking and cutting out of the legs. The 2
students in the group who had finished cutting out one leg, helped the
other two who had not been in class this term, mark out and start
cutting their legs. All student at that bench by the end of the lesson had
at least one leg fully cut out to the right measurements and quality
standard expected.
Date: 15/10/19
The year 8 class was shown the new stool leg templates, and multiples
were supplied, with a master made form metal given to the TAS
department for future fabrication ease. The student will use these to
start marking out their legs in the next practical class.
Date: 16/10/19
For the year 10 class, the jig that was used to route the leg slots in the
column was missing (for over a year), and students were practicing this
technique on scrap but found it very difficult to get a straight routed
slot. I developed an adjustable, durable routing jig for the student to aid
them in this task and make a hard job much easier and more
achievable in one lesson.
Date: 18/10/19
Year 10 Students were introduced to the column template for the lathe
and demonstrated the use and safety of the template for recreating the
column piece of the projects.
Date:1/11/19
The routing jig for the year 10 class works, and 3 students in one
lesson had already completed the routing on their columns and had
glued their legs to the central piece. The students are on their way to
completing their projects on time, and maybe a bit ahead of schedule.

Spent time with Mr Grant Robertson and Mr Simon Wakeling to
develop some more ‘Do Now’ booklets for the assortment of TAS
classes. With different levels of learning and difficulty for different years
and different class capabilities.
Date:22/10/19
The new ‘Do Now’ booklets were used in a couple of classes today for
the fast learners who had finished their last booklets. The students
found the new ones to be very similar but with some challenging
questions that had simple solutions.
Student 1 – Emergent
Student A is 14 years old, in year 8 and has attended Cranebrook High School since year 7. They are Australian, and
speaks fluent English. They live with both of their parents and an older sister and younger brother. They are
interested in video gaming, card games and reading science fiction. They always like to talk about their favourite sci-fi
shows and movies, as well as video games. Student A likes to work with others, and has a lightly extravert
personality, and maintains good relationships with their peers. They have many friends in the school, but only a
couple in the class, and enjoys working consistently with their friends on the same table, helping one another out.
They will always contribute in class discussions, and be sure of their answers, and will also venture on with
predictions when an incorrect answer is given. Student A has a good sense of humour, and uses it lightly when
completing class work. Through the ‘Do Now’ work sheets, Student A has shown they have a good grasp of their
times tables and numerical skills, and a good level in reading skills. Student A can use all the hand tools with minimal
guidance, and is on an emerging level of skill with the tools. As with most of the students, Student A just needs to
slow down when using the wood hand tools, and take their time when cutting along a line.
Student 3 - Advanced
Student C is 16 years old, in year 10 and has attended Cranebrook High School since year 7. They are Australian,
and speaks fluent English. They live with both parents and have no siblings. They are interested in cars, movies, and
especially shoes. They always like to talk about their cars and shoes during the lesson, and likes to joke around.
Student C likes to work with others, and has a lightly extravert personality, and maintains good relationships with their
peers. They have many friends in the school, with most of the class being close friends and enjoys working
consistently with them, but this can sometimes distract them from the class work at hand. They will always contribute
in class discussions, and be mostly sure of their answers, but will not venture on with predictions when an incorrect
answer is given. Student C has a good sense of humour, and uses it lightly when completing class work. Through the
a few theory lessons and work sheets, Student C has shown they have poor grasp of their times tables and numerical
skills but a good level in reading skills. As a result, student C will have to be supported with practical job work sheets,
assisting them in their work. Student C can use all the hand tools with minimal guidance, and is on an emerging level
of skill with the machine tools. As with most of the students, Student C just needs to slow down when using the tools
and have to be verbally reminded to get back on task when distractions occur.

Students will lock bags away at the start of the lesson, with their mobiles, into the bag
cabinet, which will be locked till the end of the lesson.
Students will complete a “Do Now’ task in their booklets at the start of the lesson to get
them settled and prepared for the work ahead.
Students will be reminded verbally of the safety and behavioural expectation the teacher
requires upon entry into the metal work room.

I will do demonstrations with their projects in groups who are doing the identical projects in
order to make the knowledge, skills and expectations directly related to them. I will provide
verbal feedback and guidance throughout the lesson. Any errors that occur will be
attended too, and a solution will be presented and acted upon.
Groups work at benches with students helping and guiding one another. Huddles and
demonstrations will be used to show tool use, expectations, correct procedures and
introductions to new information and knowledge for each project and involve students who
are completing that particular project or intend to start that project in later lessons once
their current one is completed. Templates will be used to help guide students work for the
particular project of the Foldable Camping Grill This is the only project with a template as it
involves very precise angles for the frame.

Reflection I will ask students what part of their project they are aiming to achieve by week’s end. What parts
they found hard, how can I help them more, and discuss possible solutions and future aids.
Assessment The students project; Pedestal Table and Shoe Rack
Evaluation The entering of the classroom is working well. Students are abusing the store room being open all
lesson. A possible solution is to have the store room open for only a few minutes at the start of the
lessons, and at the end. Minimising the miss use of the tools and equipment as they left it messy
and tools in wrong place. Huddle next lesson to cover these issues, and to bring students in store
room and demonstrate what is expected.

students to develop specific knowledge, understanding and skills related to timber technologies. These may include:
decorative timber products, furniture items, small bowls or turned items, storage and display units, storage and
transportation products.
Learning Students will apply, develop, and modify their knowledge, skills and safety in wood to further
Intention progress in the construction of their projects, aiming to have a completed wood project for use.
Success Criteria I will know if my intended learning outcomes are achieved when students make reasonable
progress with their project in the aim for a finished and refined project. Students work pieces will be
evidence of these achievements and the students’ individual progression.
Differentiation Demonstrations will be conducted to remind students on operating, safety and maintaining of the
machinery and tools that are used. Students which find this level of work difficult will be paired on
benches or around machinery with other students at different levels of skill and knowledge for
guidance (ability groups). Teacher will go around monitoring students’ progression and help when
needed.
Classroom The classroom will be setup with the benches cleared of debris, with tools and machinery clean
organisation and maintained, ready for use by the students. ‘Do Now’ booklets are not required by the school for
year 10 classes in TAS. Students will be work on benches and machinery, with maximum of 2
students each.
Stage of Lesson Engagement/ Introduction: Students will start by entering the classroom, placing all bags and
phone into bag cabinet which will be locked for the duration of the lesson. Students will gather
around the teacher’s bench for a huddle to go over the lesson’s goals and the requirements
expected by the teacher. Reminder of safety and behaviour expectations will be made explicit.
Students are offered time to ask any questions. Students will be given a safety and operation
demonstration of the new column leg slot router jig.
Learning experiences: Class Project posters and templates will be available for students to help
guide them through their projects during the lesson. Students will be introduced to a new tool, the
new column leg slot router jig.
Closure: Five minutes before the end of the lesson, students will pack up all tools and machinery,
all will be cleaned, with benches cleaned of all debris and jobs. Students are to make sure all their
job pieces have their names on them. Jobs to be put away into class job cabinet and store room.
Students to sweep floor of saw dust and leave the classroom in the same state they entered it in.
Resources Wood Work Room 1, Class Project posters and templates, Hand tool cabinet, benches, lathes, and
store room. NEW – Column Leg Slot Router Jig.
Check that lights and fans are on before lesson starts, that the dust extractors are operational,
power switches are turned on in all areas. Check that all machinery is tidy and clean. Student bag
cabinet is open, and lock is closed on side, the state of store room is checked, and the presence of
all tools are checked.
Questions “What are we up to in the project?”
“Lets look at the stage you are up to and see what we can do to take it to the next level?”
“Would you like assistance with the next step?”
“What are your thought on the new jig?”
Reflection I will ask students what part of their project they are aiming to achieve by week’s end. What parts
they found hard, how can I help them more, and discuss possible solutions and future aids.
Assessment The students project; Pedestal Table and Shoe Rack
Evaluation Students entrance of the classroom is improving. Students are not abusing the store room
anymore, but still require getting something out that they did not grab in the time provided. The
store room is open for students 5 minutes at the start and at the end of the lesson and has
minimised the miss use of the tools and equipment. The class behaviour is improving slowly during
the lesson, and good progress is being made. Student C has made a good amount of progress and
looking at how to join the sides, top and base together.
What is the lesson outcome or learning intention for this lesson? Plan for an implement
effective teaching and
The learning intention is for students to apply their developed wood working knowledge in learning
producing a pedestal table and a shoe rack.
IND5-1 identifies, assesses, applies and manages the risks and WHS issues associated
with the use of a range of tools, equipment, materials, processes and technologies.
IND5-2 applies design principles in the modification, development and production of
projects.
IND5-3 identifies, selects and uses a range of hand and machine tools, equipment and
processes to produce quality practical projects.
IND5-4 selects, justifies and uses a range of relevant and associated materials for specific
applications.
IND5-5 selects, interprets and applies a range of suitable communication techniques in the
development, planning, production and presentation of ideas and projects.
IND5-6 identifies and participates in collaborative work practices in the learning
environment.
IND5-7 applies and transfers skills, processes and materials to a variety of contexts and
projects.
What classroom routines will you use to encourage engagement and manage Create and maintain a
behaviour? supportive and safe
learning environment
Students will lock bags away at the start of the lesson, with their mobiles, into the bag
cabinet, which will be locked till the end of the lesson.
Students will complete form a huddle at the teachers bench at the start of the lesson to get
them settled in a class discussion and prepared for the work ahead.
Students will be reminded verbally of the safety and behavioural expectations the teacher
requires upon entry into the wood work room.
The store room is open for students 5 minutes at the start and at the end of the lesson,
minimising the miss use of the tools and equipment.
The new jig is designed to be a good engagement booster, and hopefully take some
pressure off joining the legs to the central column.
How will you differentiate the learning to meet the needs of the three focus students Know your students and
(case study participants)? How will you connect the learning for students? how they learn
I will do demonstrations with their projects in groups who are on the same step in their
projects in order to make the knowledge, skills and expectations directly related to them. I
will provide verbal feedback and guidance throughout the lesson. Any errors that occur will
be attended too, and a solution will be presented and put into use. Student C will continue
Describe the teaching strategies you intend to use to share new information and Plan for an implement
give students the opportunity to demonstrate understanding (e.g. ALARM, group effective teaching and
work, project-based learning, etc.) learning
Groups work at benches with students helping and guiding one another. Huddles and
demonstrations will be used to show tool use, expectations, correct procedures and
introductions to new information and knowledge for each project step and involve students
who are completing that particular step or intend to start the next step in the project in a
later lesson once their current one is completed. Templates, posters and guides will be
used to help guide students work. The new jig is an opportunity for students to expand
their skills and knowledge of construction with wood.

looking forward to completing the ball pein hammer. Student A finished their grill Standard 7 – Engage
during other lessons in the time frame of these 3 lessons and has painted the grill professionally with

when making the hammer and applied it to making some custom sized bolts for parents/carers and the
their grill legs. This is great example of transferred and applied knowledge and skill community (standards

happy with the result. Student A has nearly completed the head of the hammer on
the lathe and has given himself the challenge of finishing it in the next three
lesson. This setting of a goal for one’s self has shown further development in their
motivation and is achievable in the timeframe they have set. As the last lesson of
these three was the third last before placement ended, the student has already
finished the hammer head, and has moved onto the handle. I did take a lunch
period to help them knurl the hand base, as this technique in metal has not been
shown to him before and is a very difficult one to get right. Their progression has
come a long way, to the point where I would place them near the top of their class.
Student B’s progression in their project can be seen in Appendix 3.
Student C (Advanced) is completing the shoe rack out of multiple pieces of wood.
This project was chosen by the student as they have completed the pedestal table
exceedingly ahead of the class and needed a project to develop their skills and
knowledge further. The shoe rack was chosen as it used techniques and tools from
the previous projects and increased the level of difficulty. Student C started before
these three lessons, making the top from biscuit jointed pieces of wood of different
types, however, they did not orientate the timber grain correctly, and the piece had
bowed after two lessons. This was fixed by the student suggesting running it
through the thicknesser and using the piece as one of the shelves. The student
made great strides in their project over four weeks of these lessons, with a top,
base, sides and a shelf being crafted from multiple pieces of different wood types,
joined with a biscuit style joint. These pieces have not bowed, and by the third
lesson, all pieces were at the same thickness and smooth to the touch. The next
step for Student C is to crate the box frame for the project from the four main
pieces, as to get the back panel made for the project. Student C spent a lesson
testing on some scrap pieces ways to join the frame together, and after a few
concepts and testing, has decided on biscuiting the corner, with some custom
hardwood biscuit that they are going to fabricate. The choice to join the pieces this
way was a great choice by Student C and will bring a new skill set to their toolbelt,
and a very nice detail to their project when finished. Student C does get distracted
by others still but has reached the point of self-control and minimising his
procrastinating behaviours. Student C has made great strides in their word and will
hopefully have a finished project that they will be proud of and will used every day
by the end of the term. Student C’s progression in their project can be seen in
Appendix 4.

weeks of being a SLSO (Student Learning Support Officer) at Cranebrook in the
coming weeks, not only to tick a degree requirement, but to develop as a teacher,
