About

I am smart, creative, a mentor, a coach with the mental capability to bring the best out from any child through tailored skills available at my disposal to make a child become an erudite scholar and a leader.

I have in particular come to understand the value of sharing learning objectives and success criteria with children. Knowing exactly what is expected and how they can achieve it, allows children to focus more clearly on tasks given to them. This also facilitates effective self and peer assessments, as there are clear criteria and objectives to assess against, encouraging children to take more responsibility for their own learning.

Progression needs to be planned for, so that as children work and explore at their own pace, there is always something else ready to move them on and take them further in their learning. When I prepare lessons, I make a conscious effort to ensure I am not just catering for visual learners like myself, but try to see lessons through other learners’ eyes.

My views on learning styles have been influenced by the work of Howard Gardner. He believes that we have multiple intelligence and that every child has the potential to be gifted, but that this can present itself in many different ways. Therefore, all children have their own preferred learning style, which best suits their intelligence. As a teacher, I feel I can best meet children’s learning needs if I am aware of the learning style suited to them.

I have taught Physics IGCSE and CHECK POINT, Chemistry and Biology Check point and I can also take Geography, with most of my students having 100% success of A* to C, and all  100% success in check point Science. I also make use of ICT to enhance my lessons with interactive white boards, the internet, videos, voice and sound clips, digital cameras and work sheets. I have worked with other teachers to plan the curriculum I have worked as an examination and entrance examination officer, delivered an assembly to two year groups; attended a parents’ evening, staff meetings and INSET days; been on school visits, including helping to organize two and writing the risk assessments; observed and helped run after school clubs; and contributed to the classroom environments through interactive displays.

I have learnt how to identify and find ways to effectively aid the learning and meet their needs in ways which appeal to and best help them develop, gain a beneficial experience from their education and achieve their full potential. I have incorporated some of my learning in my final practice, as there was an autistic child in the class. I ensured that his learning needs were planned for and his TA was fully aware of what was expected.

My teaching experience, has confirmed my belief that teaching is one of the most challenging, demanding, exhausting but varied and exciting careers there are. This is so important, being privileged to be such a vital part of so many young lives and making a real difference.
