Other aims for Professional Placement:


I aim to consistently engage and consult with my supervising teacher and other members of staff
through attending regular meetings to enhance my own teaching practise.
I endeavour to improve my organisational skills and better my planning practises for lessons.
I aim to create positive relationships with my students which is a critical aspect in creating a
positive learning environment.
