Establish challenging learning goals. Set learning goals that provide achievable challenges for students of varying abilities and characteristics.
"Sasha set out clear learning goals for the class that related to the unit as a whole, as well as the individual lesson. This helped students to understand where they were on the learning journey and gave them clear objectives for each lesson
Sasha considered her content delivery in relation to not only the unit and assessment task at hand, but what would be useful for students in their studies of Geography going forward. To that end, she delivered lessons that built on students geography skills in the context of the topic at hand, choosing appropriate resources.

Plan, structure and sequence learning programs
"Sasha combined many different resources into her teaching program so that it was interesting for the students. She was able to demonstrate different ways of using technology to show the students maps, tables and charts. Her organisation and planning of lessons was excellent and she was able to adapt it on the go to reflect where the class needed or wanted to head with the learning"
- Rebecca Gardner Mentor at Henley High
"Sasha often sought feedback from me or the students to check for understanding and modified her learning program as necessary, if students needed more time to understand a concept, or if they had a sufficient grasp on it and were ready to move on. At times, due to Sasha's in-depth understanding of the topic, the work would be pitched at a level above what was appropriate for students so will need to be mindful in the future of that. Sasha did recognise and adapt and go over topics as necessary when this happened".

"Sasha was highly organised in every way needed to be an effective teacher during this period of her practice. She was always prepared ,and had back up plans in case something that she wanted to try was not going to work .
Her questioning techniques and ways of involving all the students in discussion and sharing, were very well developed .
She was inclusive of all the students and able to manipulate a variety of different resources e.g. laptop, power point, screen , video, online games, summaries, quizzes, question and answer, comprehension , group discussion , student presentation , and short test papers needed to for recording marks".
