Why teaching?

With nine siblings, a teacher for a mother, and a very family and child-orientated church, I have been surrounded by young children and teaching my whole life.  From the time I was tiny I was taught how to care for and teach younger children.  Looking to my mum as an example I took a keen interest […]

Why teaching?

When asked why I want to be a teacher, there is simply only one answer. As cliché as it may sound, I have always wanted to be a teacher. Ever since starting school at the age of 5, I have always looked up to teachers and admired what they do and the role they play […]

Why teaching?

The reason I wanted to become a primary school teacher I find quite hard to explain. This is due to the fact that I cannot seem to pin point a moment in time where I decided that primary teaching was what I wanted my profession to be. However, one of the main reasons I normally […]

Other people’s perspectives tend to be that it can be such a stressful and frustrating job; which I have no doubt that it may be. My reply to they’re question would usually be based around the fact that […]

Deciding to apply to teaching was a pretty simple decision. I was very lucky to receive the best support from all my teachers from nursery through to my last year at high school.

Ever since I was extremely young I had always imagined that I would follow in my mum’s footsteps and become a nurse, it was something I always really liked the sound of but never actually considered the ins and outs of. It was on the occasion that my dance teacher asked me if I would […]

Different Understanding of Childhood?

The first lecture of the year really got me thinking about the differences between childhood 20 years ago to childhood in the present day.

Why teaching?

When writing my personal statement to apply to university I was told many times not to state that teaching was my passion as it would be seen as cliché and cheesy but how else do you describe something that you’re so enthusiastic about?

Why Teaching?

I haven’t always wanted to be a teacher. When I was young I wanted to be a comedian and that was that. I started to drift towards education in the latter years of high school; after I had begun thinking about all those who have helped inspire me, and after I realised I was a hilarious […]

Why teaching ???

  Throwback to 12 years ago….. I was a bossy 7 year old teaching an innocent 4 year old to count. After 2 hours of me nagging she eventually counted to ten and from that moment I knew that teaching was the profession for me. In primary school I didn’t just sit in my primary […]

I want to be involved in creating a safe environment where children, from all backgrounds, can learn to their maximum potential while enjoying it.
