SECTION A: PROFESSIONAL TEACHING STANDARDS (10 marks)




ACTIVITY 1: PROFESSIONAL TEACHING STANDARDS IN PRACTICE (8)


Three professional teaching standards I observed:


1. Knowledge of the curriculum and learners

2. Creating inclusive and safe learning environments

3. Planning and implementing effective teaching strategies

Explanation of how one standard was demonstrated:

I choose Creating inclusive and safe learning environments.
My mentor teacher, Mrs. Khumalo, demonstrated this by establishing a welcoming

atmosphere from the first day. At the start of each lesson, she reminded learners of the
classroom rules that we had co-constructed “we listen when others speak”, “we help

each other”. She used a “calm corner” with soft cushions and a few sensory toys; when a
learner became frustrated during a mathematics activity, she guided him to the calm

corner and later had a quiet conversation with him. This showed me that safety is not
only physical but also emotional, learners knew they could regulate their feelings

without being punished.
