Justification statement/reflection.
Throughout both placements I have displayed a high level of teaching standard one, this has been reflected in my written reports. I learnt that it is important to develop a relationship with the children based on mutual respect. This is important since mutual respect allows the best possible outcomes in the classroom as the children will be motivated to be in the classroom and therefore will want to learn. In both placements, I adhered the school’s behaviour policies and set the highest expectation of behaviour in the classroom and wider school environment. I felt it was important to do this at the very start of the placements so that the children knew what positive attitudes I expected of them as a teacher. This created a positive impact on my teaching as the children were always focused, eager to share their ideas and ready to learn. This also meant that the children’s behaviour expectations were consistent, from myself and from other staff in and around the school.
In addition, I consistently demonstrated the positive attitudes that are expected of all pupils’, I did this by creating tasks which sparked the children’s interests. All these ideas kept the children on task and enthusiastic about the area they were learning about. In the future, I would continue to create tasks that sparked the children’s interests, but I would encourage children to promote an independent learning style. On occasions, children needed lots of encouragement, I would like to promote a classroom whereby children aspire to learn and have a willingness to learn.
This certificate is to show that I have completed the adequate training to work in a school setting. It is essential to have this certificate when working with children. Especially so that I have the knowledge to understand what may be going on in a children's life and to spot and address any concerns.
This part of my End of Report form shows that I meet teacher standard one as I demonstrate what's expected of all pupils and therefore the children are always on task and engaged in their learning, I created tasks which sparked their interests, for example, literacy marble jar, Egyptian mummification, and maths party planning. The class teacher stated that all these ideas kept the children on task and enthusiastic about the area they were learning about.
