This task will focus on the following focus areas from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (Graduate):

Standard	Focus areas
Standard 1: Know the students and how they learn	1.3 Students with diverse linguistic, cultural, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds
Standard 2: Know the content and how to teach it	2.6 Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Standard 3: Plan for and implement effective teaching and learning	3.1 Establish challenging learning goals 3.2 Plan, structure and sequence learning programs
Standard 4: Create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments	4.3 Manage challenging behaviour 4.5 Use ICT safely, responsibly and ethically
Standard 5: Assess, provide feedback and report on student learning	5.5 Report on student achievement
Standard 6: Engage in professional learning	6.1 Identify and plan professional learning needs 6.3 Engage with colleagues and improve practice
Standard 7: Engage professionally with colleagues, parents/carers and the community	7.2 Comply with legislative, administrative and organisational requirements

For each of the focus areas listed above please provide the following:

Evidence from your professional experience (one piece)that you believe best demonstrates your achievement of the focus areas within each standard. Your evidence may include: screenshots of work samples/planning documents, photos, card, feedback from students/families/mentors, etc.

A reflective statement for each of the focus areasthat demonstrates why you've chosen the particular evidence, and how it develops your understanding of the relevant focus area.

Each statement should be approximately one or two paragraphs in length.

Portfolio format:You're required to collate your evidence and reflections and submit them as a PDF document.

Please do not embed videosin your portfolio. If you want to include video evidence, upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo instead and share a link to the video in your portfolio. Do not attempt this unless you are confident with the requirements of uploading and sharing videos.

Word limit:

As word counts are difficult to measure for this type of assignment, you are required to produce no more than the equivalent of one A4 page in length for each piece of evidence.
You're expected to draw upon the unit learning materials to support your reflective statements, as well as scholarly literature found beyond the unit. One reference list is to be included at the end of your assignment.
Use first person when referring to your personal views and third person when referring to literature.

Standard 1.3
Students with diverse, linguistic, cultural, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds
Education is a field that does not distinguishes between the students of any caste, religion or socioeconmic backgrounds. Most of the classrooms are full of students who are not financially sound  and with different family structure. Being a teacher, I believe that every student has a right to education and having students of diverse environment is good as I can support them in providing them education. Treating each student as same will enahce the overall skills of students as I will concentrate on the social and emotional development. Each student has the potential to become successful in life; each student have some talent and skill that will be my task to identify and teach them. 
The most challenging task for me is to teach the primary classes (say 3rd and 4th class). It is because language barier is the issue. I have to translate the lessons to the students who are not able to understand it properly. I have to give special attention to the students with diabilities so that they can grasp the things more quickly. 
After getting placed in an educational institution, I went prepared with the plan on how I will proceed with the lecture? I dictated the answers for some questions this helped the stidents who are not able to understand properly, I used to conduct activities related to the subject lessons. This strategy will be helpful for me to teach all the studentsincluding students with disabilities (Paolini, 2017).
Till the time of placement, I covered all the topics related to teaching and learning difficulties that students face during their education. 
Standard 2.6 
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
I was not aware of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) before my placement; there was a mentor for me who asked me to use smart technology devices. These devices include smart TV, iPads and a software named Google Classroom. My mentor has advised me to use ICT as it gives better understanding of the subject to the students fastly as compared to the offline teaching methods. The ICT helps students to take interest in their respective subjects and also the classroom data is saved on the University intranet that can be used anytime by the teacher. I took help from the students of my class to know more about ICT. 
ICT was proved helpful to me as I can use it to teach mathematics and other subjects to the students. It was also helpful for the students as they can save their work as a draft in a folder that can be edited later. 
I used the smart TV and Google Classroom to educate the students about the course topics. Book creator is a tool that is used to create a document for a course that is taught in class. Students used their iPads to complete their assigned projects. ICT is useful and effective for the students as well as for me as a teacher (Bullock, 2015	). 
Standard 3.1 
Establish challenging learning goals
Unlike teaching, learning is also challenging; for the students. Not every student learn quickly and not every student takes time in learning a topic. My mentor told me that I have to first create a learning environment so that students can feel comfortable in studying.

In this task you can draw upon any of the work that you've provided for the first two assignment tasks. You'll also draw extensively upon your experiences on the professional experience placement....
