Damien Walker
I am a life skills educator (teacher), with a background in Secondary Food & Textiles, Child Studies and Religious Studies. I have experience in Social Enterprise, Leadership Development for Young People, Goal Setting and Values.
I work with young people to ensure they have a future and are empowered to be the directors and producers of their own lives, providing the skills that enable them to be successful and transition into their ideal life after school. Key to my role and the student’s success is the planning and implementing lessons and programs to meet the needs and provide success to a variety of different students using differentiated learning.
This Site
This site has been built to be a professional portfolio, that aims to provide a clear demonstration of my proficiency in teaching, and to allow for self-assessment and reflection on my capabilities and growth. Growth and development will be seen through my years as an early year teacher as I Journey through to become a Proficient Teacher. Hence, exploring my growing capabilities as demonstrated against the AITSL Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at the Graduate and Proficient Level (with evidence).
This site can be easily distributed, will provide me with a vital connection between theory, practice and professional growth, and will enable me to become familiar with website development, a useful skill to hold in a classroom.
