Criteria Five: Show leadership that contributes to effective teaching and learning

Key Indicators:

- Actively contribute to the professional learning community. 

- Undertake areas of responsibility effectively.

Questions I have asked myself:

- How can my mentor support me in these areas?

- What are my areas of responsibility?

- How do leadership opportunities contribute to effective teaching and learning?

- What contributions do I make to my PLC?

- What do I have to do to show leadership in the classroom and my curriculum area?

- Do I understand effective feedback and feed forward processes?

- How do I help support my colleagues to strengthen teaching and learning in my setting?

Strategies that have helped me:

- Make time to have professional discussions with colleagues and mentor. 

- Develop skills in partnership with mentor to lead and support other teachers. 

- Take notes of professional discussions for personal reflection.

Reflections:

- Do I demonstrate leadership that contributes to effective teaching and learning?
