I have learnt a numerous number of valuable teaching, and behaviour management strategies throughout my time at Seven Hills State School. I am certainly looking forward to implementing them into upcoming field experiences, and in my own future classroom. I have also learnt that my professional experience was vital to my understandings of the role in which the Australian Professional standards for Teachers plays as I could
