I found this out in my
previous placement at
Lavington East Public
where my supervising
teacher had already
established how they
learn best. The
students worked best
in smaller groups and
in tasks when they

collaboratively.

increase your level of

greater emphasis was
placed on teacher

other teachers, parents,

greater connection to
the school was
developed.

Other aims you may have for the professional experience:

- Experience and participate in classes of PDHPE and special education.
- Participate in sporting events like Rugby League days and cross country events.
