My Contribution
What are my goals for child/student achievement this year?
What impact will I have on the improvement of my school/preschool this year?
Goals
I want my students to reach their spelling and reading goals,
with at least five of them achieving the high band in NAPLAN,
thus meeting the goal outlined in our site improvement plan.
I want my students to fully grasp the importance of health,
which can be achieved by them unpacking their own health,
and how to improve it, thus putting theory into practice.
I want my students to recognize the importance of teamwork,
which will undoubtedly play an important role in their futures.
Also, I want to show them it is ok to fail, so as long as we learn.
Analyse your child/student data and school improvement
targets and set specific and measureable goals for student
achievement that are achievable and ambitious – stretch goals.
My Career
Short-term (up to 2 years)
I want to move from graduate teacher to proficient teacher according to the AITSL standards.
Consider career pathways in line with the ‘Highly Accomplished’ or
‘Lead’ career stages in the teacher standards or talk to your leader about
pathways into leadership. Think within and beyond your classroom,
school/preschool or partnership. Consider roles that may have a system
wide impact.
On Needs Off
How will I achieve this goal? Achieved
track attention track
I will try to first establish where my students are currently,
when it comes to their spelling and to their reading currently,
which I can then use to see what needs improving for NAPLAN.
I will try to ensure that when I am teaching Physical Education
that I am relating what we are learning in Physical Education
to what we are learning in Health.
I will try to ensure that when I am teaching the Curriculum
that the different sports we learn are dependent on teamwork
because this should allow my students to interact suitably.

Long-term (2-5 years)
I want to become a classroom teacher (starting with a few days a week before going full time),
in addition to gaining permanency. Also, I would like to tail as a wellbeing leader if possible.

My Behaviour
What do I do really well and how will it help me achieve my goals?
What do I need to start doing to increase my effectiveness?
Which of my behaviours prevent me from being more effective in my role?
- How will I manage those behaviours?
I think I am good at establishing relationships with different types of students.
However, this can blur the line when I am trying to be serious and enforce rules,
thus I think I need to find a balance that ensures that I am seen as their teacher.
I think that I am really dedicated to my role and spend a lot of time planning.
However, sometimes lessons don’t go as planned and that knocks me around,
thus I think I need to be more flexible with my learning as teaching is patchy.
I am always asking for advice from fellow teachers, as well as from leadership.
However, sometimes I can find it difficult to ask for support in certain situations,
thus I want to be more transparent moving forward.
This is specifically aligned to Standard 7 (Engage professionally with colleagues, parents/carers and
the community) and will consider all of the teacher standards from a behaviour perspective. It is
about leveraging behavioural strengths and making adjustments that positively impact on your
teaching practice, your interactions with others and your overall effectiveness.
My Wellbeing
What action can be taken to enhance my wellbeing? Are there any
work, health or safety considerations?
I am working on getting my fitness to a standard that I deem to be acceptable,
which includes attending physio, thus letting me to return to football next year.
I am working on getting myself out there in the community to make connections.
I think I need to try and find that work/life balance, so I am not always creating:
lesson plans, unit plans and resources on my weekends.
This is about the interaction between your role as a teacher, your health, your safety, your
wellbeing and your personal responsibilities. Have a conversation with your leader about what
action you will take to find the optimal balance that ensures the best outcome for you and your
work.
My Learning
What learning activities will I undertake to improve my professional practice,
accomplish my student achievement goals and achieve my career aspirations?
I will dedicate sometime throughout the working week to truly unpack the Units
and put them into a PowerPoint slideshow, as I have been shown how useful it is
because it helps teachers to gain a deeper understanding of what is in the Units.
I will continue to learn from Chris about Aboriginal history and Aboriginal culture,
as well as how we can incorporate Kaurna language into each of our lessons,
which needs to be done with the upmost respect.
I will ensure I continue to meet with ECT professionals and attend ECT meetings,
which will help me when it comes to me finishing my teaching portfolio this year.
Also, I plan on catching up with my fellow ECT students outside of ECT meetings.
This is specifically aligned to Standard 6 (Engage in professional learning) and will consider all of the
teacher standards from an individual learning perspective. Plan actions that involve learning on the
job, collaborative learning, undertaking research, observing practice or formal training.
Our Agreement
What do I need from my leader to achieve my goals?
Where will I source my feedback this year (e.g. classroom observation)?
What evidence will I provide at my next review meeting?
I believe if I continue to get support from fellow teachers, as well as from leadership
that I will accomplish my goals when it comes to helping students reach their goals.
I will my mentor teacher and Ash to observe how I am conducting English lessons,
and provide constructive feedback on how I am able to improve English lessons.
Therefore, at the next review meeting, I will bring the aforementioned observations,
in addition to some of my students work to show how they are going in English.

Teacher summary comments Leader summary comments

I believe that I am well on my way to accomplishing all the goals I set for myself.
Firstly, I have linked what I teach in Physical Education to what I teach in Health,
which has stimulated class discussions on the connection between these lessons.
Secondly, I undertook a spelling test with the students that I teach in spelling,
which helped me to gauge their current understandings on various graphemes,
thus allowing me to decide what particular graphemes needed more attention,
thus allowing me to create PowerPoints so students grasped those graphemes,
which I wouldn’t have achieved if I didn’t learn how to upgrade my PowerPoints.
As for my short-term goals and long-term goals, I will finish my portfolio very soon
and I will be moving in a classroom teacher role next year (if everything pans out).
It is fantastic to see the growth in your teaching as the year has progressed. You
have taken on the LGU spelling work to a high degree, discussing and altering
teaching to accommodate.
I have been extremely impressed with your flexible to take on any class with staff
changes eg stepping into year 5/6 class on a Wednesday from Term 3. You have
needed to work collaboratively with 2 other teachers to support teaching and
behaviour management.
You have been organised planning and sending out communication for all
SAPSASA events and coordinating these smoothly.
Aboriginal Perspectives work has shown huge buy in by students and you have a
fantastic relationship with Chris Laxton ACEO.
