Professional Learning module - Understand
Rationale
Created: June 2023
I have successfully completed the Beyond Blue Be You program "Understand", which is part of the mentally healthy communities unit. Through this program, I gained valuable insights into how I can apply the acquired knowledge about mental health not only within the classroom but also as an educator within the broader school community.
As I progress in my studies and embark on my teaching career, I recognise the importance of continuous professional development. I am committed to engaging in relevant and suitable professional development opportunities that will equip me with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively teach in the primary years. By staying proactive in my pursuit of ongoing learning, I aim to provide high-quality education that meets the needs of my students and supports their development.
I will be looking to continue further studies to develop my career down the track, enrolling onto a guidance counseling degree to hopefully progress in this direction within a school environment.
Rationale
Dated: December 2018
When starting this degree I was working as an online English tutor for Palfish. I needed to complete my TESOL course in order to work for this company, with most of the students being based in China and native Chinese speaking. I understood what relevant course needed to be completed in order to successfully fulfill my role as a tutor.
