Comments Off on My Inner Search
Having spent over a decade serving as a firefighter, I began to realise that something within my core wasn’t satisfied. Like a rumbling tummy when hunger sets in, I no longer felt content at the end of the working day; I didn’t feel challenged, I didn’t actually feel anything in all honesty. The job had […]

Comments Off on What is so Wonderful about Teaching?
When I look back, I have always had this passion to discuss various topics with children and pass knowledge onto other people. With all the technology and accessability to various resources, it has never been easier to reach out for information. However, we still need to learn how to differentiate the reliable sources from the […]

Comments Off on My Primary Reason
The environment in primary schools has always appealed to me. When I learned there, I loved it. I loved how the brightly coloured furniture and catchy phrases on the walls could inspire me to try something new every day and try my hardest to be the best that I could be. I loved the interactions with a huge range of different characters that I would never […]

Comments Off on Growing up a teacher
“Because no two days are the same”‘ almost every teacher has said this when asked about one of the main reasons they love their job- and it’s undoubtedly one of the reasons I want to become a primary school teacher. In the classroom experience I have had, I have learned that this statement is definitely […]

Comments Off on Teaching. Did I choose it or did it choose me?
If someone had asked me five years ago what job I saw myself doing in the future I would not have been able to answer. However now I cannot see myself doing anything else. But how did I make this choice? For as long as I can remember I have always loved working with young […]

Comments Off on Not just a teacher, a role model.
As a teacher, you become a child’s role model. I see the profession of teaching as a challenge. You are placed in a classroom with the ability to motivate and build more confident young people. Over time you build a connection with the pupils in the classroom and this allows you to motivate them through engaging […]

Comments Off on My Educational Journey
If I had to give a reason as to why I wanted to become a teacher, I would have to start at the beginning where it all began. My educational journey started at the age of four – different to most who start at five. This was a factor that helped me to grow up quicker […]

Comments Off on The Right Path
I’ll admit from the start that teaching was never the definite career path I wanted to follow. When I went back to school after spending a summer volunteering at a Playscheme for ASN children, I toyed around with the thought. I had loved every minute of that summer, and even though I was only fourteen, I […]

Comments Off on My Journey into the Teaching Profession
Selecting a career path is a daunting and unnerving time with the tiresome “what do you want to do when you leave school” question being constantly repeated. This question, however, never intimidated me (like it did others) as through volunteer work and work experience I was confident that Primary Teaching was my future career path. […]

To me, teaching requires natural passion and enthusiasm in order to make an impact on those who need it. Creating a positive ethos in the classroom environment can be challenging but I believe that through challenge comes opportunity. Therefore, this is what inspired me to become a teacher.

Comments Off on Starting Education to Become an Educator
When asked, “what do you want to be when you’re older?” I said, “a ballerina of course!” However, that was not the path for me. I do not know who I was trying to kid, but I had two left feet so a career in dancing was thrown out of the window very quickly. From […]

14, a number that won’t be forgotten: The age I was when I knew teaching was for me. It was the time my mum became ill, our roles switched. I was the mum, she was the daughter.

Comments Off on Why did I choose to become a teacher?
For the past few years, I have known that working with children was the career path I wanted to follow. Completing a one year HNC in Childhood Practice affirmed this belief.
