Introduction

 Professional Skills Assessment Task        Sadi Myers s0136692
 "...the process of change in work must be accompanied by change in education...the educational reaction to change needs to go beyond simply adding new knowledge or new skills. Newly emerging work conditions require people who are able to analyze, make reasoned judgements,use complex tools, procedures and technologies and communicate." (Knapper & Cropley, 2000,p19)

My university degree, including the professional 'real-life' learning experiences gained through practical placement, has instilled more than just a knowledge of content. Over the years I have developed the skills, values and attitudes required for today's workplace. These qualities will make me a valuable member of any educational environment. I am a continual learner and have the necessary skills required to contribute towards personal and collective growth, improvement, and transformation (Stephenson, 1999 ). These transferable skills can be represented through the following CQ University graduate attributes: 

GA 1: Communication
GA 2: Problem Solving
GA 3: Critical Thinking
GA 4: Information literacy
GA 5: Team work
GA 6: Information technology competence
GA 7: Cross cultural competence

The following reflection provides examples of my knowledge, skills, attitudes and values as it relates to these attributes. In order to demonstrate how I have achieved these attributes, I have made connections with the skills specific to my degree by reflecting on the Queensland College of Teacher indicators towards achieving particular standards.  Particular comments made by my university lecturers and supervising teachers provide evidence for each area.
