Comments Off on Why teaching for me?
I decided that I wanted to become a teacher at a young age and have never really changed my mind about it.

Comments Off on My Need to Teach
After leaving school with grades for University but no guidance in that direction, I found myself wandering aimlessly from one form of employment to another. Bank worker, assistant paralegal, temp, lab technician to name but a few! Eventually I entered into the care field running a Homeless Unit and working in a locked Residential Childrens […]

Teaching isn’t just a job; teaching is a reward. Whilst the ‘weekends off’ and the 6-week-long Summer holidays may be perks that come with teaching, it is the desire to impact young peoples’ lives and my love for working with children that swayed me towards this career. I want to make an impact. I want … Continue reading Teaching is a reward. →

Comments Off on Shaping the upcoming generation
My reasoning for becoming a Primary school teacher is all due to my childhood experiences. I loved school, primary and also secondary (mostly) so it just felt right to me that I should give back to the world what others have given me. School should be a place of learning, not just educational but also […]

Comments Off on Why I chose to become a primary teacher

Comments Off on Why Education? A Roundabout Journey.
——Pass the parcel—— Guiltily, my initial choice to study Education in December 2017 was not built on the foundations they perhaps should have been. Integral values like a love for children or a desire to give something back to the community were not at the forefront of my mind. Instead, my UCAS application had […]

Comments Off on Teachers make the world a better place
Every time I tell people I want to be a primary school teacher they always ask, “Why? Children are crazy, hyperactive and annoying.” However, I always remind them that there are many benefits to being a primary school teacher, for example it’s a very rewarding job, no day is ever the same and of course, the long summer holidays. From the age of about 8 I always […]

Comments Off on Finding Direction
I left school not really having a clue what I wanted to do. It was quite a lonely and daunting period as all my friends were prepared and had every detail of their plan down to a T. I have always had a great interest in working with children, but as a mere 17-year-old, I […]

Comments Off on ‘Teaching… What’s the big deal?’
I used to have the same confused question racing in loops around my little head as mum was at her wit’s end running about packing schoolbags, making up an A-class packed lunch fit for 3 as quickly as I could count to 20 (which, by the way, was an impressive time for a 6 year … Continue reading “‘Teaching… What’s the big deal?’”

Comments Off on To teach or not to teach?
During my years at school I quickly realised that teachers had a large impact on my school experience. One teacher in particular inspired me, during my primary years, to want to teach children. She always encouraged me to do my best and reach my full potential, which showed me the type of teacher I aspire […]

Comments Off on Learning Today
Teaching is one in the same with learning. Without knowledge and the will to keep learning there is nothing to teach. As people we are constantly learning new things. During our academic years (especially during high school) we were not learning for the right reasons. Instead, working hard and learning was for and only for […]

Comments Off on My Princess Popstar Alternative
I’m not going to lie and say that if you’d asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up that I would have always replied “a teacher” (because to be honest, I still kind of want to be a Princess Popstar). However, as my mum is a teacher, I have grown up with […]
