Follow the advice given in the EPT329 Guide to Professional Experience Placement and our
Subject Outline, as well as our online modules/face-to-face workshops regarding how to complete
this template.

GOAL AND RATIONALE ACTION EVIDENCE

The goal should begin with
To (e.g. To improve my
behaviour management and
extend my awareness of positive
behaviour management
strategies).
Now identify it in relation to the
AITSL standard (e.g. Standard 4:
Create and maintain supportive
and safe learning environments;
4.3 Manage challenging
behaviour).
Now write a rationale for it: why
have you chosen this goal?
See our Subject Outline for
further details.
Describe the action to achieve
the goal.
Actions should be
demonstrable, e.g.
Demonstrate awareness of a
range of different positive
behaviour management
strategies (through my reading
of related academic theory and
consistent application of this in
the classroom).
This is the evidence that will be
collected to demonstrate
achievement of the goals (and
related Standards).
Evidence of achievement
should be tangible, e.g. written
feedback from supervising
teacher, positive verbal
feedback from students,
improvement in student
engagement, appropriate
behaviour management
strategies incorporated into
lesson plans.

Other aims you may have for the professional experience:

Participate in teacher duties (yard duty and staff meeting etc.).

To develop a wide range of resources for me to use as a teacher within the future. This includes
useful programs, website and books etc.
To develop effective teaching strategies in managing behaviour.
To develop relationships with each student so that I will better understand their learning styles, so
that they will feel comfortable in approaching me for help and assistance throughout my placement.
