This
statement
will
address
elements
of
Education
Queensland
that
will
be
linked
through
the
Professional
Teachers
Standards
and
the
Curriculum
Frameworks
to
make
connection
to
my
personal
philosophy
in
an
early
childhood
primary
school
setting.
Relationships
with
students
and
colleagues
I
believe
the
value
of
relationships
and
developing
strong
partnerships
within
a
school
setting
is
vital
when
working
with
children.
Education
Queensland
promote
how
important
it
is
for
teachers
to
create
effective
learning
partnerships
that
involve
other
schools,
parents
and
the
community
to
improve
students'
learning,
at
school
and
at
home
(Education
Queensland,
2006-2010).
Having
the
position
title
of
an
Early
Years
educator
in
Education
Queensland,
I
strongly
understand
that
my
role
as
a
teacher
is
to
promote
this
collaboration
professionally
by
engaging
families
through
learning
partnerships,
which
has
been
shown
to
have
a
positive
influence
on
student
outcomes
(Department
of
Education,
Training
and
Employment,
2013).
Engagement
is
most
effective
when
parents
and
teachers
establish
respect
for
each
other
in
different
ways,
as
they
work
together
to
promote
childrens
learning,
especially
in
the
early
stages
of
learning
for
early
years
children.
As
a
teacher
and
preparing
myself
for
the
real
world,
I
have
come
to
understand
that
there
are
many
roles
of
an
early
years
school
educator.
I
will
aim
to
work
effectively
as
a
team
member
to
support
all
stakeholders
involved
in
childrens
learning
by
balancing
the
responsibilities
required,
working
collaboratively,
critically
reflect
on
the
decisions
that
influence
curriculum
decision-making
and
build
on
childrens
learning
(Department
of
Education,
Employment
and
Workplace
Relations,
2009).
Issues
of
knowledge
and
learning
I
believe
the
importance
of
developing
a
critical
understanding
in
evaluating
curriculum
and
critical
pedagogy
is
a
fundamental
teaching
skill
that
ensures
quality
teaching
is
foregrounded
and
supported
through
an
effective
pedagogical
framework
(Department
of
Education,
Training
and
Employment,
2015).
I
have
become
aware
of
the
expectations
there
as
are
a
teacher
to
have
this
knowledge
in
current
educational
development
in
curriculum
and
the
schools.
I
believe
my
main
focus
is
to
be
an
instructional
leader
where
I
can
improve
student
performance
and
develop
successful
learners
in
the
long
term
(The
State
of
Queensland
(Department
of
Education),
2005).
Being
a
life
long
learner
allows
teachers
to
construct
and
reconstructs
professional
knowledge,
skills
and
behaviours
as
they
reflect
on
pedagogy
and
share
professional
practice
in
a
range
of
settings
(The
State
of
Queensland
(Department
of
Education),
2005).
To
me,
this
means
looking
at
important
quality
aspects
of
teaching
that
involve
instructional
leadership
to
support
consistent
whole-school
pedagogical
practices
and
alignment
of
curriculum
and
pedagogy
(Department
of
Education,
Training
and
Employment,
2015).

I
also
I
believe
that
demonstrating
this
knowledge
is
influenced
through
active
participation
and
collaborative
learning,
which
is
evident
through
specific
teaching
and
student
learning.
Demonstrating
these
quality
aspects
has
allowed
my
thinking
process
to
acknowledge
and
pay
tribute
to
the
role
that
a
teacher
plays
in
leading
peers
and
students
to
improve
student
learning
(Australia
Institute
for
Teaching
and
School
Leadership,
2015).
Understanding
of
Varying
Communities
and
Contexts
Diversity
in
todays
society,
is
such
a
vital
contribution
to
students
learning
in
which
needs
to
be
appreciated
and
foregrounded
within
school
communities.
I
have
come
to
understand
that
embracing
diversity
has
enabled
m e
as
an
educator
to
be
respectful
and
implement
effective
teaching
strategies
that
will
benefit
childrens
individual
learning.
Through
my
practicum
experiences,
I
have
been
able
to
experience
many
different
learning
needs
within
a
classroom.
These
experiences
have
been
able
to
help
me
build
my
understanding
on
the
different
ways
these
students
are
catered
for
and
different
ways
to
adapt
them
into
my
classroom.
By
acknowledging
diversity,
I
will
ensure
that
I
make
ethical
decisions
within
my
learning
environment,
implement
effective
teaching
strategies
which
embraces
diversity
to
support
the
community
and
individual
student
issues
and
value
this
through
trust
and
mutual
respect
(Australian
Institute
for
Teaching
and
School
Leadership,
2015).
Manner
in
which
a
Professional
Teacher
draws
these
Strands
together
I
believe
I
have
addressed
my
beliefs
regarding
each
strands
throughout
this
statement.
I
have
acknowledged
the
Australian
Professional
Standards,
which
I
have
used
throughout
the
last
4
years
of
my
degree
to
allow
me
to
make
ethical
and
effective
decisions
to
support
my
learning.
These
have
been
a
big
part
of
my
professional
development
as
a
primary
teacher
over
the
last
four
years.
As
teachers,
I
strongly
believe
it
is
essential
we
draw
on
our
personal
philosophies
and
statements
in
alignment
with
Education
Queenslands
Professional
Standards
to
support
our
planning
and
maintain
creative
and
safe
learning
environments
(Australian
Institute
for
Teaching
and
School
Leadership,
2015).
I
highly
value
my
professionalism
as
a
teacher,
and
due
to
this,
I
will
actively
contribute
to
students
learning
by
reviewing
inclusive
strategies
and
exploring
new
approaches
that
will
engage
students
in
learning
and
where
I
can
develop
and
extend
on
my
skills
and
capacities
to
support
students
individual
needs.
