Skills and Experience When I was at primary school I loved the feel of community. When my
daughter began nursery I increasingly became involved at the school. I spent my days off from my
job helping in the classroom. I volunteered at PTA events, alongside teachers and parents. I’ve
always been creative, having my own ideas and really enjoyed helping the children create Easter
chicks. Watching and helping a child achieve something is so rewarding. The smile on their face
when they had finished their art work filled me with happiness and my desire to teach them more.
I began research into teaching; I read an article which increased my passion. The article claims ‘90%-
95% of brain growth happens in the first 5 years’, making these the most crucial years of a child’s
learning. I find this so important for a child to have the right start in life and I believe I would give my
all for each and every child in my class. I want to be the one to encourage these developments,
through creativity learning, role play through different scenarios and team building. I also want to
play a part in the children’s desire to learn and to enjoy learning. I’ve learnt how each age group
develops with age and experience in learning to understand new concepts and keeping them
interested with refreshing topics. I leant children learn when they enjoy the topic. This can be
extended from a simple game through taking turns keeping the game fresh and interesting maintains
interest and the brain developing.
Having personally struggled with learning, as I am dyslexic, I can relate to how a child with learning
difficulties may feel and understand their struggle. When playing a counting game one on one, I
came across a few children who really found the game difficult. I found them unable to count up to
ten, as many of the others did. I simply broke down the game into steps i.e. reading through the
numbers first to help them recognise each number. Then repeated the numbers over and over to
help the child recognise the sounds of numbers in two stages for example 1-5 then 6-10. I found this
encouraged the child and for the game to be less overwhelming.
I feel responsibility is important in keeping order within the classroom ensuring all children are
behaving and on task. Children need to respect each other and the staff. Over the years through
working in different environments with many different individuals, I’ve gained skill in
communication. I can modify my approach to suit the circumstances. I completely understand not all
children communicate in the same way. I’ve learnt to work with the individual on a one to one basis
to find a way to help them understand. A school teacher I have observed has a great method of
attracting all the children’s attention. Through simply clapping her hands in a rhythm, the children
stop and clap the same rhythm back. I found this very effective when applied in her classroom.
I would excel in producing a good relationship with parents to encourage the direction of the child’s
learning. I would also be united with parents to help manage behavioural concerns.
Over the years I've learnt how to plan, record and monitor progression to achieve objectives. I can
factor in an ever-changing environment. In teaching I would hope these skills would help to manage
a child’s development and ensure I reflect for each their needs throughout the year. I believe I will
be a credit to the teaching department and aspire to achieve my high potential in practising quality
teaching in providing care, support and fun.
