The capacity for teachers to demonstrate a positive impact on student learning is central to effective teaching and to the design of pedagogical practices that make a difference. In this unit, you will explore pedagogical strategies and processes applicable to your secondary curriculum learning areas with a focus on student engagement and student centred learning practices. You will explore how to select and use quality resources and teaching approaches appropriate for your curriculum learning areas. You will compile a portfolio of professional pedagogical repertoires that will include a range of strategies for teaching higher level content, based on contemporary research and best-practice evidence. Through exploring the characteristics of quality evidence and identifying the types of evidence you could draw upon, you will identify and analyse whether your teaching practice has made a positive impact on student learning. Evidence of your impact on student learning will be drawn directly from your personal reflection on your approach to planning and teaching, feedback received on your teaching practice and your observation of other teachers. Through critical reflection on your demonstration of the relevant professional standards, you will also identify your professional learning needs in order to improve your future practice.
