● Demonstrating a Professional Body of Knowledge:

For my third TQS reflection, I am reflecting on TQS number 3, Demonstrating a Professional
Body of Knowledge. At this point in the practicum, I have successfully planned and taught one
unit plan for most of the subjects that I teach. In these plans I created and taught specific lessons
and activities with technology, groups, stations and more. I have aimed to try and change my
instruction where it did not go well and try new activities as well as aim to meet the learning
outcomes I have set for the students.
For example, in LA we are doing fractured fairy tales and the students have completed an
array of activities structured around fairy tales, story elements and story writing as well as a
cross curricular group script performance in drama. They have met all my outcomes so far in
these activities. I think with more experience I will see myself develop more structured
assessment and evaluation practices.
