As a teacher I recognise that the future of our society lies within the hands of our children. I believe that a good education will provide children with a strong foundation wherein children develop and mature to become productive citizens of the world and fruitful members of society. All children have a legal right to a good education and therefore it is part as my responsibilities as a teacher that children receive the best education that they deserve. I strongly believe that knowledge is powerful and a key element towards success. The foundation of my philosophy is constructed on the role of a teacher being beyond just passing on knowledge and information onto children. I believe that teachers take on important roles in the lives of children as educators, care givers, confidants and mentors. Therefore, in my practice I will not only have the responsibility of teaching the National Curriculum, but also ensuring children are safe and taken care of while in my care which includes providing children with physical, emotional and intellectual support. As a teacher, I endeavour to be a confidant to all my pupils as I believe that trust is very important in building an appropriate and effective teacher-pupil relationship.

ACTIVITIES

Throughout my placements I have successfully planned, prepared and delivered lessons and activities for different year groups which actively engaged pupils with the learning. I have developed my ability to identify and adapt teaching in order to meet the needs of pupils with varying needs such as SEN and EAL children. I have worked with children with Autism, Dyslexia and other learning difficulties. To further enhance this, I have attended various workshops including those on Autism and Makaton which I hope to implement in future practice. I also have experiences of different languages and cultures which I hope to use in assisting EAL children and with communicating with parents when necessary. I have also participated in the Graduate+ program at BCU which has prepared me in becoming a professional graduate. It has prepared me to become work ready through enhancing my communication skills, team work and collaboration and planning and organization skills. Through the program I have achieved a Bronze and Silver Award and I am hoping to gain my Gold award by the end of the academic year.
