About this page
This page was made by a student completing her Graduate Diploma of Education at Macquarie University, for the subject EDUC107 Introduction to Educational Studies. My subjects areas are English and HSIE, so as a result I tended to provide more information for those areas. The site was built using Dreamweaver and Photoshop.
This site was part of an assessment, wherein the Professional Teacher Standards had to be looked at, and a project completed exploring certain aspects of the standards, while also demonstrating other aspects of the standards. The outcomes explored or demonstrated are: 1.1.4, 4.1.5, 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.8.

Other than the obvious links to various professional and training organisations, which are too numerous to reproduce here, the following references were invaluable for both the informational and technical aspects of this assignment.
