Gamified Formative Assessment

Gamification has the power to evoke fundamental yet essential human emotions, such as a sense of accomplishment and excitement, which can bring joy and happiness to learners.

Marking Projects

I team teach YR9, 11 & 12 Furnishing Pathways (FUR) and YR12 Design and Engineering Skills. I have been able to mark or moderate practical assessments for all subjects.
Marking students’ work is a crucial aspect of assessment and feedback within the APSTs. It allows me to assess student learning, inform their teaching practices and provide guidance for further improvement.

“Safety doesn’t happen by accident.”

6 March, 2024

Like all teachers, my aim is to create a safe and productive learning environment for students in the workshop by setting clear expectations for students to comply with the workshop safety rules, learn and pass compulsory safety tests and follow all Safety Operating Procedures (SOP) for every tool, machine and task while they are in the workshop.

As a builder of over 30 years, I have seen my share of serious accidents by tradesmen rushing or not concentrating on their tasks or surroundings.

As I say to my students,

“The blade does not care if it hurts you as it slices through your fingers.”

EDS2401 Professional Experience

This semester, my 3-week Pex/Prac was at my Internship Host school as per Trade 2 Teach guidelines.
The main difference was that I was at the school full-time and got to observe more classes. I also could ease my way into micro lessons and, eventually, full lessons. The internship helped with this process immensely, as I already knew the school, the students and how the school does things, so I could concentrate on developing my knowledge of curriculum and pedagogy techniques and strategies.
During my practicum, I joined the supervising teacher in marking and moderating assessments/ marks. This was a great experience, as I saw the full lifecycle of a subject, which, in turn, helped me modify my teaching practices.

“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!” – Benjamin Franklin

Creating and implementing effective lesson plans aligns with several APSTs. It demonstrates my ability to design engaging learning experiences, cater to diverse needs and promote student understanding through well-structured and well-sequenced instruction.
