Brendan Passmore
Teaching Portfolio
Standard Six
Standard Six encourages educators to continue to improve their skills and knowledge. A teacher should use professional resources to take responsibility for one’s own development and teaching. One should ensure they are kept up to date with changing technology and curriculum changes. Feedback and guidance should be consistently revisited to improve future education (AITSL, 2014).
