Teaching (16)-I demonstrated flexibility and responsiveness by providing blocks for the child to help him extend his knowledge of trains.





I saw Noah's interest and provided him with a book that had the fire truck song and took him a video which I showed him. I demonstrated that I can use appropriate technology and resources in teaching and extending childrens learning also provide feedback to students and assesses learning. He was so excited to see this video and very eager to sing th e song to his friends whenever he could.

Teaching (14)- I showed that I can successfully engage students in learning by providing materials or resources which support the goals( interest in transport) and engage the students. In order to engage the children I had to place materials and the equipment in a way that facilitates social interaction within the learning environment. For instance I had to think about how I will make places available for children to sit individually, in groups, sit on the floor,stand and move about. I had to decide what equipment is safe, secure, interesting and place it to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the environment thus maximising children's enjoyment of it. I also had to place the equipment and materials to stimulate children's curiosity, interest and brain development.
Professional Practice (9) - I was able to manage student learning by organising tasks for the groups of children to productively engage them in learning and encourage individual exploration and thinking.I also had to place myself where I was able to see the children.
