Emma Wilson - Teaching Portfolio 2010.

Teachers are active members of their profession.

Throughout life we are continually learning and so it is important for a teacher to remain up-to-date with and aware of current teaching practices and professional development opportunities.
As a graduating student I have endeavoured to build on my  experience by  attending various professional development sessions organised by the VIEU  and the AEU. In addition in order to build upon my whole class teaching skills, I volunteered at Valkstone Primary during my school holidays and provided relief to Grades 1, 2 and 6 which was an excellent opportunity to assess and reflect on my skills in an unfamiliar environment.
