1.3 Short Biography
[Begin your biography here, aiming for a maximum of 200 words.]
My name is [Your Name], and I am a passionate and dedicated pre-service teacher with a
background in [mention your academic field or a relevant experience, e.g., Biology, community
outreach, etc.]. My journey into education was inspired by a deep-seated belief that every student
deserves an engaging and supportive learning environment that empowers them to reach their
full potential.
My approach to learning is collaborative and student-centered. I believe in fostering a classroom
where curiosity is the driving force and mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth. I am
committed to continuous personal and professional development, always seeking out new
strategies and technologies to enhance my teaching practice. My goal as an educator is not only
to impart knowledge but to also cultivate critical thinking skills and a lifelong love of learning in
my students. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the next generation of learners
and help them navigate the complexities of our ever-changing world.

1.4 Teaching Statement
[Begin your teaching statement here, aiming for a maximum of 400 words.]
My core teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that education is a transformative process
that extends far beyond the memorisation of facts. I believe that effective teaching is a dynamic
interplay between providing a solid foundation of knowledge and encouraging students to
construct their own understanding of the world. My classroom is a place of inquiry where
students are active participants, not passive recipients. I aim to create a safe, inclusive, and
stimulating environment where all learners feel valued and confident to take academic risks.
My teaching practices are informed by pedagogical theories that emphasise student engagement
and real-world application. I frequently incorporate project-based learning and collaborative
activities, as they allow students to apply theoretical concepts to solve authentic problems. I also
believe in the power of differentiated instruction. By understanding each student's unique
learning style and needs, I can tailor my lessons to ensure that every learner is challenged and
supported appropriately. Feedback is central to this process; I provide constructive and timely
feedback that helps students identify their strengths and areas for improvement. I also encourage
a growth mindset, helping students understand that their abilities can be developed through
dedication and hard work.
Learning is a continuous journey for both the student and the teacher. I am committed to
remaining a lifelong learner, staying abreast of new educational research and technology, and
continuously refining my craft. My ultimate goal is to empower my students to become
confident, resilient, and compassionate individuals who are well-equipped to navigate the
complexities of the modern world.
Part 2: Reflect on Your ISC3701 Experience
2.1 Reflection on Your Marked Assignments and Interactions
Feedback
Receiving feedback on my assignments was initially an emotional experience, often filled with a
mix of anticipation and anxiety. However, I quickly learned to reframe feedback not as a critique
of my worth, but as an invaluable roadmap for growth. For example, on Assignment 02, I
received detailed feedback on my lesson plan's lack of explicit differentiation strategies. My
initial response was to feel a bit discouraged, but I soon realised it was a critical insight. To
respond, I actively sought out resources on differentiated instruction and revised my approach for
the next assignment. I would do things differently if I had another chance; I would have reached
out to my lecturer for clarification on the feedback points sooner, rather than trying to decipher
them on my own. I also would have created a feedback log to track common themes and ensure I
addressed them proactively in future work.
