![]() ![]() Often we as teachers can even learn a great deal from our students and continue to develop ourselves from this. Each student is different, and each student will be at different stages of development in each of these (and other) areas. This requires an understanding of all the various factors that come together to affect our students learning, and includes physical social, intellectual, and emotional development. What this standard means to me: Understanding our students is fundamental in order to be able to tailor our teaching to, and to build relationships with, them. Proficient Level: Use teaching strategies based on knowledge of students’ physical, social and intellectual development and characteristics to improve student learning. Graduate Level: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of physical, social and intellectual development and characteristics of students and how these may affect learning. Standard 1: Know students and how they learnįeedback I received from my mentor teachers:ġ.1 Physical, social and intellectual development and characteristics of students. 7.4 Engage with professional teaching networks and broader communities.7.2 Comply with legislative, administrative and organisational requirements.7.1 Meet professional ethics and responsibilities.Engage professionally with colleagues, parents/carers and the community 6.4 Apply professional learning and improve student learning.6.3 Engage with colleagues and improve practice.6.2 Engage in professional learning and improve practice.6.1 Identify and plan professional learning needs.5.3 Make consistent and comparable judgements.5.2 Provide feedback to students on their learning.Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning 4.5 Use ICT safely, responsibly and ethically.Create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments 3.7 Engage parents/ carers in the educative process.3.6 Evaluate and improve teaching programs.3.5 Use effective classroom communication.3.2 Plan, structure and sequence learning programs.3.1 Establish challenging learning goals.Plan for and implement effective teaching and learning 2.6 Information and Communication Technology (ICT).2.4 Understand and respect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.2.3 Curriculum, assessment and reporting.2.1 Content and teaching strategies of the teaching area.1.6 Strategies to support full participation of students with disability.1.5 Differentiate teaching to meet the specific learning needs of students across the full range of abilities.1.4 Strategies for teaching Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.1.3 Students with diverse linguistic, cultural, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds.1.1 Physical, social and intellectual development and characteristics of students.However this is also a living document, and will continue to evolve in an ongoing manner as I continue towards the Profcient Level of the APST standardsįor ease of navigation, a list of the 37 standards are provided here, each hyperlinked to the appropriate point on this page: This constituted a Self-Review Audit of the APST standards for Graduate Level, and those responses have been copied into the relevant template here. These are available through a link attached to the text "A more comprehensive list of reflections and evidence relevant to this standard can be accessed here" under each of the standards below. Most of these reflections are also posted with reverse searchable tags to the APST standards, and these are used to automatically populate a list of reflections relevant to each APST. I've included some direct feedback given to me from my mentor teachers on this page, but all other evidence is available through hyperlinks to my reflections. The bulk of the evidence for these standards come from my two placements, the first at Norwood Morialta Highschool (NMHS) and the second at Blackwood Highschool (BHS), with some evidence also coming from coursework I have completed as part of the Master of Teaching program, and other external professional development I have engaged in. Illustrations of these standards, as well as further details can also be found on the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) website. ![]() The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) are summarised here under their three main headings, and listed below in more detail with my reflections and evidence for each. ![]()
