I am a teacher because I want to change the world. I believe that teaching is an essential profession and that those in it have a great responsibility in their role as educators.

 

My own academic experiences have strengthened my belief in the great importance of education and also helped me develop a number of key skills and qualities which have enabled me to develop as a scholar and a person. 

 

My experience working in varied environments has enabled me to develop a range of practical skills. I am able to manage challenging behavior effectively, conduct activities safely and communicate with people from diverse backgrounds. Further, I am very creative and enjoy sourcing materials that make learning interesting. Most importantly, my ability to work well with others, motivate and inspire is a very significant contribution that I am confident I can bring to the course and into the classroom.

 

I believe very much in Allie Mooney’s motto: ‘If you can reach me then you can teach me’. I can create a constructive atmosphere by praising students while encouraging positive learning behaviors. This approach has proven to be encouraging for my students so far.

 

Therefore, as a teacher, I hope to be a role model that cultivates in young people, open minds, the knowledge and ability to look at the world critically, and the belief in one's capacity to make positive contributions to society.
