Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the concepts, substance and structure of the content and teaching strategies of the teaching area

These two artefacts from my mentor teacher allow me to demonstrate my ability to meet this standard, which fundamentally is most applicable in the classroom. 

I have not been afraid to continue to research content areas to ensure that I am providing the best teaching I can.  I have developed my teaching strategies according to the classes that I have worked with, using my knowledge of the students to understand what works best for them.

Going forward, I realise I will uncover more areas where my knowledge needs extending.  I feel confident in my reflective practice that I will be able to identify this and pursue research or professional learning to improve upon weaknesses, whilst demonstrating to my students that we are all lifelong learners.
