Other educational work
The intention of this e-portfolio is to build a comprehensive body of evidence to showcase my knowledge and skills in the field of teacher education. I have added some information and examples of the work I have completed in other units this semester to enable me to develop a comprehensive e-portfolio of my work during my four year teaching degree.
EDN110 - Mathematics for Teaching
(puuikibeach, 2005)
This unit is designed for students who have not successfully completed Stage 2 or above of Year 12 Mathematics. It aims to further enhance their skill and understanding of critical mathematical concepts and processes needed to teach primary school mathematics and science. The content will address key elements of the primary school curriculum: number and algebra; measurement and geometry; and statistics and probability (Murdoch University, 2012b).

EDN111 - Language for Learning and Teaching
(Soctech, 2006)
This unit explores concepts about language and literacy learning essential for teachers in all school settings. It aims to equip students with fundamental skills needed to support language development in their own classrooms by focusing on oral language development, the formal characteristics of written texts including grammar, and the use of language for positive classroom interactions and literacy learning. Concepts presented will be further explored in EDN112 Understanding Teachers' Work and EDN223 Teaching English and Literacy in Primary Schools (Murdoch University, 2012a).

EDN112 - Understanding Teachers' Work
This unit introduces students to the profession of teaching. It commences by looking at the self as a learner/teacher and examines the impact this may have on the role of an educator. The unit enables students to appreciate the diverse roles and responsibilities of the teacher, to understand students as individuals and groups, and to develop a critical awareness of the function of schooling in Australia. The unit integrates school experience in both a primary and secondary school setting (Murdoch University, 2012c).
