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.

Professional Leadership (25)- I showed that I can support and lead other teachers.This was used as an example of what is expected, when teachers post things on the centres blog.That the blog should be used as a way of communicating with parents on what children will be learning for example when playing in the sand pit.




Professional Practice (7)
To achieve this in my practice my interactions with children demonstrate general warmth, caring and respect. I also make sure that students interactions with each other are generally respectful and considerate for example discouraging inappropriate behaviour like biting, pulling hair, pushing each other and snatching toys from each other.
