Personally, Ihave had ahugely positive experience of both primary and secondary education. Iam applying for primary education mainly because Ifeel 1 have the potential to inspire and encourage children of all abilities to reach their full potential. My own experience as a pupil has been very influential on my view of the teacher's role, and I should hope to be able to offer my own pupils the support, encouragement and guidance that I received myself. My work experience allowed me to experience life in a primary school setting from a teacher's perspective. I enjoyed the way that every day is different and that each child is unique. Both my educational background and experience have helped me develop excellent interpersonal communication skills. My background in debating and experience with research seminars has further helped me to develop presentation skills and the ability to engage an audience. Studying BA (Hons) Childhood and Family Studies and Education Studies, I have gained a deeper understanding of child development and psychology, which has supported my communication skills with challenging classroom behaviours. My knowledge of families, communities and culture allows me to explore different approaches ot learning, where I will be able to adapt teaching styles to suit the class learning process. Group projects and presentations have highlighted my teamwork and leadership skills, as well as presenting information in a clear and articulate manner. I enjoy regular exercise, such as football and running, teaching me that a healthy mind and body is essential to managing stress, being the best I can be as a teacher and role model. My experience has shown I have the dedication, creativity, resourcefulness and passion to become an inspirational teacher.
