My name is Paul Zula and I am a Graduate Diploma of Teaching (Primary) graduate from Swinburne University, Victoria.

This is my digital portfolio, which I have created to provide examples, evidence and information regarding how I have met the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers formulated by the Victorian Institute of Teaching.

The Standards are comprised of three broad domains that include: Professional Knowledge, Professional Practice and Professional Engagement.

Within these main domains are the 8 teaching standards which are:

Domain	Standard
PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE	1. Know learners and how they learn 2. Know the content and how to teach it
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE	3. Plan for and implement effective teaching and learning 4. Create and maintain supportive and safe learning environments 5. Assess, provide feedback and report on learning
PROFESSIONAL ENGAGEMENT	6. Engage in professional learning 7. Engage professionally with colleagues, parents / carers and community
