Comments written by my mentors during my teaching practice

Comments by my Mentor Teacher from Camperdown College.

Claire has consistently and conscientiously involved herself in all dimensions of education at

Camperdown College. She has effectively maintained a professional approach with students, parents and colleagues. She constantly strives to improve her pedagogical knowledge and is genuinely interested in making a difference to students' learning. All students responded well to her teaching practice and enjoyed her classes and style of teaching. She always responds well to advice given and constantly self evaluates her lessons.
Claire's personal qualities of cheerfulness, concern for others, integrity and reliability, as well as the very capable manner in which she has tackled her responsibilities as a student teacher have combined to make her a very valuable individual.

Her enthusiasm for this profession is obvious and I wish her all the very best for her teaching career.

Comments by my Teaching Fellow from the University of Melbourne.

Congratulations Claire on an outstanding teaching round. Your personality, enthusiasm and confidence all contribute to your very positive and meaningful approach to teaching. Lesson preparation and learning outcomes for your students were well planned and executed. You have an engaging manner with students and it was evident that you quickly established a positive rapport with them. Risk taking in your teaching was evident, as was your constant reflection.

Knowledge and understanding of the curriculum was evident and your classroom management style effective.

Well done and all the very best for your future teaching career.
