Comments Off on What Teaching Means to Me
I think a lot of people starting the primary education course, like me, have wanted to be some sort of teacher from a young age. A lot of the time we played schools with siblings when we were younger and that is what sparked our interest in teaching. I used to be the teacher in […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Not why. Who?
If you ever asked me “why teaching” I probably wouldn’t be able to answer. I don’t really have a cliche answer as I don’t “love” children. My journey to choosing this career path was never based on a “why” it was much more of a “who”. The who has two parts to my journey, who […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Origins
Where it all began… I find it extremely difficult to pinpoint a specific time or memory in which I was inspired to embark on the journey towards becoming a teacher. Whether it was my childhood-self organising pretend school trips for my pupils and gathering money from family members to put in plastic sleeves, to be …

Comments Off on How I got here
From a young age I have been surrounded by teachers in my family with both my Auntie and Grandmother being primary school teachers. While these women have been clear role models to me throughout my life they have also had a positive affect on so many other young people’s lives. This was one of the […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Einstein was wrong…
Einstein once said: “The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education”. An odd quote, perhaps. However, I have never claimed to be Einstein and will never claim to be. To me, Einstein was wrong. Education inspires, enlightens and drives children to prosper and be the best they can be and as an […] Continue reading

Comments Off on My Teaching Inspiration
I had a very successful school career and I cannot credit my teachers enough for the amount of work they put in, they motivated me to become the best version of myself that I could be and helped me to achieve all of the goals that I set myself. I think the main reason I […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Why I Teach…
I teach because it gives me the chance to help develop a pupils education. It allows me to be a part of their learning experience and make new memories. Becoming a teacher means that I get to prepare fun and creative lessons, which will hopefully open the pupils eyes into different pathways as they start […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Why I want to teach
It all started in primary 5, early I know, but since then I have been passionate and determined about becoming a teacher. In primary school creativity and the arts were my strengths, I struggled more with the academic side such as maths and literacy and required some extra support. The teacher didn’t take into account […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Why teaching?
From a very young age I instinctively knew that I wanted to be a primary school teacher. Some of my earliest memories are from my second year of nursery school in which I helped the children who were just slightly younger than me to paint and draw, and also often I read books to them. […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Why do I want to be a teacher?
There are so many reasons why I want to devote my career to the role of an educator. I ultimately believe that a career in education is one of the most important functions performed within our culture. Teachers have the ability to improve the world by constantly helping broaden children’s minds, so that they can […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Why teaching?
An educator can simply be defined as someone who is dedicated to delivering an understanding of different subjects and values to their pupils. However, I believe the role of a teacher in the 21st century has evolved into so much more than this. A teacher must be passionate about their role and should encourage pupils […] Continue reading

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. Seeing my teachers enjoy themselves made me think that a career in teaching would be good for me. Teaching is more than just educating children but making sure they develop socially and emotionally. […] Continue reading

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 […] Continue reading

Comments Off on Why I chose teaching
My desire to teach came from the positive relationships I gained with my teachers in my school career. When I think back to my time in primary school, I think back to the teachers who inspired me the most and the mark they have left on my life today. Their enthusiasm and positivity motivated me […] Continue reading

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. → Continue reading

Comments Off on Why I chose to become a primary teacher
The first comment I always get when I tell someone I want to teach primary school is “Wow, good luck with that! That is my worst nightmare.” or “That’s a great choice, you’ll have so much free time! Think of all those summer holidays.” But for me, it came down to the possible impact could …

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 […] Continue reading

Comments Off on My Reasoning for Becoming a Teacher
For as long as I can remember, my one main ambition has been to become a primary school teacher. I have always enjoyed being a part of a school environment from a young age and to me, it only seemed right to continue on, not only to further education but to become a teacher at […] Continue reading

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 […] Continue reading

Comments Off on A lifetime in education
To me, becoming a primary teacher was always the path I was walking on. I can still remember a task in second year Social Education in which we had to research our dream job, then make a poster on it. Our guidance teacher stressed to us that when we left sixth year, she would not […] Continue reading
