Use and sequence a range of learning experiences to influence and promote
learner achievement
How I met the professional practice GTS 4b
Mathematics Measurement unit
+ Activities provided an inclusive classroom climate.
+ Used Informed focussed planning.

+ Children involved in solving problem-centred activities.
+ Activities relevant to the children’s everyday lives and the
topical world around them.
+ Children worked in mixed ability groups allowing for equity.

An I-Movie- I have selected this
artifact as it demonstrates my ability
to...
+ Provide problem centered
activities.
+ Provide different activities
that use the same skill
therefore promoting
achievement.
+ Provide hands on learning
experiences that engage

Every child can make progress and have success.
By using hand on experiences is one way students are being taught as a whole
person.
Relationship is a Key Ingredient needed to have a successful teaching and
learning partnership
Knowing where children are at, and where they are going to is essential to
promote learner achievement.
Modeling the dispositions of a learner and showing a passion for learning is
contagious.
