A combination of the elements mentioned above ensures complementary areas of students learning are addressed. Through the Principles of Learning and Teaching (PoLT), the classroom is described as being a place that is supportive, motivating, engaging, diverse, and challenging. It is also outlined that assessment should be fair, transparent, and productive. The Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) allows for the value of the context to be linked with the content of the classroom. The Reporting and Assessment Advice ensures that outcomes of these environments are communicated regularly to parents providing them with “easily understood information about how their child is progressing and plans for future learning.” Through my teaching practices, I mindful that my teaching strategies and abilities need to combine with those set out in the initiatives and methodologies to provide a safe and engaging learning environment for all students.

Also I need to create effective and stimulating opportunities for learning through high quality teaching that enables the development and progression of all learners. My role as a teacher is to plan my sessions by doing lesson plans, preparing teaching materials, assessing my learners, evaluating myself and my delivery, completing attendance records, and maintaining records of learner progress e.g. interviews, tutorials, assessments, etc. As a teacher I also need to exercise a duty of care for my learners, ensuring they are inducted to the company and course, carrying out one to one tutorials and reviews with learners, following professional values and ethics, acting and speaking appropriately and standardising practice with others. I will also need to attend meetings, mark work, attend promotional events and exhibitions and refer learners to other people or agencies when necessary.
These should be recognised upon arrival of the school environment. It is set out for the whole school to be aware of and is reinforced through daily activities.

Policies are oftenly created by the governing bodies of the school in order for rules and regulations to be in place and enforced. When these policies are in place, it means there are some determined procedures of how schools operations are handled and all staff and pupils know about the expectation of them and act accordingly. This saves time, prevents confusion and unifies the school. To create a safe learning environment such policies are created which establish a safe physical and mental environment for the staff and students of the school. To achieve these, policies such as anti bullying policy, equal opportunity, fire drills and mental health guidelines etc are created.

This in turn should create a caring, happy atmosphere in the school which can enable effective teaching and learning. The school has its own code of conduct which all members of the school are to support. The school code of conduct is as follows; This is our school we will: • look after everything in and around it • follow instructions first time • always do our best work and let others do the same • treat everyone as we would like them to treat us • move sensibly round school and always walk inside.

There is to be a clear understanding by staff, pupils are parents of what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.
TDA 3.4: Promote children and young people’s positive behaviour 1. Understand policies and procedures for promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour. 1.1 Summarise the policies and procedures of the setting relevant to promoting children and young people’s positive behaviour.

Effective communication is important in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults in all aspects of life and at any age whether it would be with relatives, friends, neighbours, colleagues or even total strangers. Also effective language skills are essential for children to access the curriculum. In the classroom, spoken language is the main way that teachers teach and children learn. Therefore if the skill of communicating in an effective manner isn’t learned or grasped at an early age then it could lead to various difficulties in terms of interacting with other people. In my experience, good communication is also important when clear expectations and boundaries are established and point made as plainly and as simply as possible.
