The evidence I have for the collegiate/peer feedback is the comment I received from the mentor teacher on my self-evaluation form, the self-evaluation form for the self-assessment/reflection, and 3 students surveys from each of the three classes that I taught for the student feedback (see Appendix 1).
Area of strength
An area of strength for my teaching practice would be the different teaching methods and multiple forms of literacy that I’ve included in the lessons, as I have been trying to do a different activity for each lessons, or includes visual, music, and videos in the lessons to give students different approaches to the contents. My mentor teacher commented the different tasks as “interesting and useful” for the students. The students …show more content…
This comment can be found in all three types of feedback analysed for this essay. I have a small voice and since English is not my first language, can be hard to understand from time to time. I also tends to speak too fast sometimes, making it difficult for the students to understand. This is a critical aspect of teaching practice that I need to improve on as teacher’s talking and lecturing is the foundation of any successful lessons. Lack of assertiveness in my voice also lead to classroom management and behavioural management issues, as it is hard for me to control the class after giving students opportunities to do individual tasks or group activities, especially fro the younger year levels. A number of students, while not included in the appendix, stated that they would like me to make sure that the class is quiet when I set them individual tasks to work on. It is the sole responsibility of me as a teacher to make sure that students can all be fully engaged in the learning and not disrupted by other factors, and it is very important for me to have my presence felt in the classroom.

Teachers should monitor students progress closely and identified any difficulties students had in their learning. Teachers also benefit from effective feedback, all three types of feedback analysed in the essay had ben extremely helpful for me to help me develop my professional practice as a teacher. I have found the students feedbacks very valuable as I can know directly want students think and want for the lessons, which can be hard for me or other teachers to know. According to Hattie and Timperley (2007), the most important aspect of an effective feedback is the clear directions on what to be next for improvement. I have found that very true with the feedback I received, and I want to make sure that I always include suggestions on possible ways to improve or questions on how to do the tasks in a different ways when giving students
