before class and then go through the assessment questions in class (AITSL 6.3). Due to a time restraint, the school has so many activities on and block exams that the students miss out on many classes throughout the semester. Mrs Fawkes said that this is the only way she will be able to get through the course in time (year have to be completely finished/graded by 12’s week 5, term 4, AITSL 2.2, 7.2). That morning I had to change my lesson plan. I uploaded all the power points onto the school canvas so the students have access to it. I then worked through part C of the quiz with the students. Only one student submitted their Quiz online! We had a discussion about why that would be the answer for that question and used examples of what the students had already knew (ALP 1). An example of this would be when we were talking about job descriptions and the importance of looking and being professional, we had just spoken about how the students had been asked to be in the photo shoot to advertise the kindergarten and the Certificate III in Early Childhood and the importance of wearing their formal school uniform, so they look professional (ALP 1, AITSL 1.2). and had their parent teacher interviews, unfortunately none of the Year 11’s 12’s parents booked in to see Mrs Fawkes. Mrs Fawkes said that the school uses a platform called Acceleres where parents can see all the feedback from the teachers to the students (AITSL 5.5). Mrs Fawkes then did go on to say that she has no idea what the parents actually see, as her head of Department completes that section! I have had many professional discussions with Mrs Fawkes but I must remember to record them for evidence. We will often talk about what they have at the school that reflects the training package, and how unfortunately other school activities, take preference to the Certificate III in Early Childhood class. We have discussed the issue Mrs Fawkes is having with providing evidence for the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers 1.4,
