Final Placement Assessment Rating: "Exceeding Graduate"
In advance, Kirk is always organised and prepared for each lesson. His lesson sequences link and flow very well and all students are engaged and learning. One of the reasons for Kirk's successful learning experiences was that he laid a foundation at the beginning of his prac where he explicitly took the time to get to know his students and to understand their strengths and weaknesses. With this information, Kirk created a graphics organiser based on each student's interests and their strengths within the classroom. He has used this information to design and plan out his lessons catering to their learning characteristics and abilities. Kirk was able to set successful learning ‘S.M.A.R.T’ goals for each of the students and measuring out their outcomes using the success criteria. Kirk also developed a user-friendly learning wall where he displayed student's work and achievements.
