1EDUCATION
Part 1
 My teaching philosophy is like my mission statement that guides me in my profession
of being teacher. As a teacher I do not only share my knowledge about the subject by
also aim to share my values, beliefs and understanding of life with my students so that
they can face any difficulty in life by using their intelligence.
 My core beliefs are
 To provide my students the best quality education by committing my time and
resources
 To meet the high expectation for the academic achievements
 To promote students’ creative and critical skills to enhance their engagement and
development
 To make decisions informed by data
 To create a safe learning environment for learning.
 In my core beliefs related to the teaching, I have followed the theory of behaviourism.
This is a set of theories laid out by Skinner that suggests that all types of behaviours
are response to the external stimulus. This defines how the learning behaviour of the
students get improved when they get positive reinforcement like praise, rewards and
appreciation in class. Through these elements I can execute what exactly I want to do
in my class that is to improve the learning process and understanding of the students.
 In sharing my strengths I world first point out my capability of keeping patience for a
task and responsibilities towards my students. In addition to this, the communication
and social skills are another factors that has helped me in the profession. Finally, my
ability to connect with the children or with the older student is high. I can mix with
them knowing all their preferences. All these strengths have helped me in my
profession as a teacher.

2EDUCATION
 The school community is not only consisted of the students but also their parents,
other teachers, school staffs for support and the board of directors of the school
therefore, I have the responsibilities to the students as well as these partners. In the
school community I want to contribute all my capabilities to the development of the
children irrespective of their social or economic background. As my philosophy is to
share my righteous values, beliefs and understanding with my students, I cannot just
ignore my part of being a teacher so I will give the students to develop their scopes. In
addition to this, the school community will be respected, valued and helped to lay
strategies properly so that it can work smoothly.
 As a teachers I also need to lean many things. This includes proper understating of the
curriculum and change the teaching style in such way that can be more applicable to
the students. My professional learning also include proper management of the difficult
situation where one group of students having learning difficulty, are not getting
proper guidance for their development. The more I will get support for professional
learning, the more I will be able to help my students.
Part 2
 There is a particular difference between participation and the action of engagement.
The participation is simply taking part in an action whereas the engagement is the
method of making investment in that particular task.
 The word inclusive actually refer to the range of approaches of teaching Which
consider the different meeds as well as background of the students to create a perfect
learning environment in the school or other education centres where the students will
feel valued and get equal access to learn. The inclusion gets promoted when the
school policies and environment are in support of learning of the students. The
inclusion process needs involved learning process and full support from the teachers

3EDUCATION
which detail the individual needs of the students so that they can be helped for
proximal development. There are some barriers that hinder the inclusion process
which include the economic situation of the schools, knowledge of the teachers to
detail the subjects to the students, proper curriculum, and proper equipment of
studying and lack of economic support of the education authority to develop a proper
infrastructure for learning (Whitton et al., 2016). In addition to this the biasness and
teaching methods may not support involvement of the students in the learning
frameworks.
 The focus area if inclusion and focus area 1.5 have a close connection. The first one is
the process of considering the diverse needs as backgrounds of all types of student for
creating a positive learning environment and the focus area 1.5 refers to method off
differentiating teaching to meet the special needs of the students across the full range
of capabilities.
Part 3-
 Being organised help the teachers to be more efficient in their works and be equipped
with anything needed to be flexible in any situation. This reduces the time for
professional learning and make them more completed.
 The routines and expectations can be negotiated on the basis of organised flexibility.
It is planning, organizing and executing the actions which comes with practice. The
senior teachers have the experience and organization power to negotiate the routines
expectations (Silverman, Kurtz & Draper, 2016).
 Being confident about the works actually originates from the idea of being organised
which is an essential quality that the pre-service teachers need to develop. It is
important because the pre-service teachers do to possess the right amount of
concentration over which can help them to understanding their profession properly.

4EDUCATION
 Being organised allows the persons to have time which is invested in developing the
skills like creativity and higher order thinking. Being organized makes people gain
more knowledge about the situation and plan the elements step by step that enhances
efficiency.
 I shall point out the most important parts of the chapters before teaching and explain
those points accordingly. The as the students where they need more explanation
which I shall do.
Part 4 –
 The students who show incapability of learning, definitely makes me concerned about
them. This is why I try to find out what type of issues they are facing in the learning
process, then solve those in the class.
 My experience relating the learning capacities of the complex individuals are
associated with one of my own classmate who came from a low earning family having
frustrating childhood with no guidance from the parents. She developed learning
incapability in the class and developed issues in understanding and behaviour.
 According to my own experience and dealing with the persons who gave own
behavioural issues originated from the anger or creation tend to be quarrelsome. Same
is seen in the aspects of the children (Kumashiro, 2015). As these children do not get
what exactly they want both physically and emotionally from their parents they tend
to indulge in fighting which is an expression of anger.
 In order to develop positive education activities, these children with disturbed
childhood is needed to be taken more care by the adults associated with them mainly
the teachers who are to guide them properly. These students must be engaged in the
creative learning process which will shift their focus to study.

5EDUCATION
Part 5-
 To my understanding, the teachers’ duty of care is related to the creation of such a
learning situation in which the students feel protected and cared. The teachers are
responsible to have the proper understand of the rights and legalities of the children
coming for studying in the schools. If these children face neglect or abuse in the
schools they will not be able to learn properly in the schools or for that matter would
not come for classes. Therefore, as a teacher I need to be capable to be familiar with
them and create a feeling of dependency in their minds (Stephenson, 2018).
 It is important that the children get proper resources for their educational development
on the basis of their overall health of an individual. This will enable them to the
successful overcome difficulties what they actually want from their lives.
 As a teacher I have understood that the children must be provided protection from the
high risk which can be related to mental or physical harassment, proper nutrition like
providing essential medicines from the schools so that the poor families who cannot
afford those may use and finally all the essential study equipment can be arranged.
Part 6-
1. ICT devices are effective for use but there are some harmful emotions from these
devices which may affect the human beings. This is why the children if use those can
develop certain physical and psychological problems.
2. I have experienced that the students who use responsibly their ICT devise are more
interested ion the creating things and gaining knowledge through studies and the
others who use ICT devices irresponsibly ted to avoid studying or paying attention.
3. The ethical use can incorporate parent lock system that will disable certain programs
from their children’s reach.

6EDUCATION
4. Due to over usage of ICT devices, the children can grow addiction that reduce their time for
rest and study. Moreover, the virtual world is so fake and attractive that their
capabilities to mix with real people (Sung, Chang & Liu, 2016).
5. Use of ICT teaching hinders the lack of awareness of the parents who buy their
children expensive phones and computers without thinking about their future.
6. Access to internet-based information can reduce the efficiency to solve problems by
the children themselves as there are ready materials always. These are not always
dependable or trustworthy.
7. I have accounts in different social networking sites both personal as well as
professional. There my students will find the trail of data I have create using the
Internet. These include the websites I visit, the emails I send and information I submit
to different online services. Most of those are relating to my career and preferences.
Part 7-
 The assessment fits within teaching and learning as this check how well the student is
learning. Teachers thus collects the information from these learning of the students
and adapt new processes if needs that leads to improvement of the leaners’ outcome
(Paris & Alim, 2017).
 The formal assessment are systematic and pre planned data based tests which
measure what as well also how skill the students have learned. Information
assessment is the spontaneous forms of assessment which can be incorporated in day
to day classroom activities which measure the performance of the students and their
progress.
 Diagnostic assessment identifies the current knowledge of the students regarding
subject, skill sets and their capabilities (Webster, 2017). It clarifies misconceptions
before the teaching occurs. Formative assessments measure the students’ progress and

7EDUCATION
can also assesses teachers’ own progress. Summative assessment occurs after the
completion of the learning and provides the information and feedbacks that
accumulates teaching and learning process.
 Assessment as learning is the process based on which the teachers try to clarify the
issues of the students individually (Henderson, Selwyn & Aston, 2017). Assessment
of leaning determines how much ready the student is regarding learning. Assessment
for learning is to enhance the quality of learning process.
 High stakes testing realise to make important decisions about the educators, students,
schools districts and other related for the purpose of accountability.
Part 8-
 On my last placement I gave educative feedback that gave a constructive feedback to
my students and negotiated the reasonable goals. It is the method that encourage the
students to achieve their needed skills and knowledge in timely manner. I asked one
students each time as provided feedback to them individually.
 I am able to determine if my feedback progresses the students learning as the students
developed their concentration on studied and followed the techniques I pointed out.
 For the strong learners timely and appropriate feedback is essential as they plan their
study according to the feedbacks from the teachers. It is essentials as the strong
learners try to compete among themselves so that they want guidance to transform
their weaknesses into strength (Doel & Shardlow, 2017). The strong learners are the
asset to the classrooms as they share their knowledge to the others students when
teacher is not present. Therefore, giving feedback to these strong students ultimately
helps the others to share proper knowledge.

8EDUCATION
 I have gained experience of the strategies like 'traffic lights' or 'thumbs up thumbs
down' action of the students that expresses their understanding of the topic teacher
teaches. It is a method of giving timely feedback.
Part 9-
 The teachers make judgments of student learning informally throughout the day
which I also do but this is for the good of my students. This I think enhances their
learning skills and attention to the learning. This effects the psychology of the
students which directly connect them with the improvement process in terms of
learning.
 Teachers use different methods to moderate the student learning within the class by
making partners of one another (Felder & Brent, 2016). This helps the pupils to utilise
the strengths of one and imitate the learning style of the other. In some cases, the
schools take initiatives to partner with another school and engage the capabilities.
They copy the good factors of one another and then flourish.
 In some cases, the set standards of the curriculum cannot meet the learning needs of
the students. For example, the standards of the curriculum does not think amount the
students with learning stabilities or special needs of the students to understand any
topic.
 It is not always possible to change the teaching programs for matching the capability
of one particular student. Therefore in such cases, the teachers can take special classes
of these students so that they do not lagged behind.
Part 10-
 On interpreting assessment data, the personal collection process of the teachers are
not always supportive. It is due to the fact that the teachers’ aims to make consistent

9EDUCATION
and comparable judgements but the school-wide data collection does it always
support the personal data collection (Glendenning, 2018).
 I am aware of the formative data, observational data and student deposited data which
help the teachers to find out how much progress has been done in the classrooms.
 In my plan for the learning needs of my students, I have gained knowledge about
intended learning process that details that what the students know, understand and can
do with their knowledge and implement in the future career.
 I am quite familiar with the other coursework as well as from placement with prior
knowledge assessments. I have summative and formative assessment knowledge that
gives me information about the learning needs of the students and how I can develop
my teaching process more effectively.
 I as a teacher have understood that the teachers can plan assessments and collect
student data properly it match the expectation of the students with the teaching styles.
By taking feedback from the students, the teachers will be able to plan assessments.
Part 11-
1. The reporting can imply communication with the parents of the students. These are
important as the parents of the students get proper understanding of the weaknesses of
their children. This an impact on the wellbeing and study of the students.
2. The strategies applied in the reporting process can be parent teacher meeting, detail
letter about the annual report cards and meeting parents for some specials reasons.
Reporting progress to students keep them aware about the expectations of the teachers
and the schools from them (Hamid et al, 2015). The set curriculum mandates the
learning of the students which often create barrier for the individual student as the
teachers cannot allot time for them.

10EDUCATION
3. In reporting process the teacher face issues like the unawareness of the parents about
the learning of the students. Moreover, the economic and social background also
create issues for which the teachers cannot share their feedback or report the growth
process of the students to their parents.
4. Using technology, the teacher can report the parents more effectively and
immediately. However, not all parents can understand this process and do not support
then positively.
5. The gradation system obviously help the stronger students to pursue their goals. They
become attentive to achieve higher grades. Moreover, this differentiate one student
from the other on the basis of merit but for the weaker students it has negative aspect.
They feel demotivated getting low grades and do not try to overcome that.
6. My resilience and grit are perfectly in tune with the requirement of the upcoming
placement. I hope, I will be able to share the thoughts I belive and communicate what
I need to.
