Birmingham NQT Personal Statement

I am applying for the Birmingham NQT Pool 2017 as it will enhance the likelihood of securing a teaching post, within Birmingham; a city that’s rich with culture and diversity. I feel that I would be an asset to the pool, and to any school, as I am highly committed to ensuring that all pupils reach their full potential. I am highly regarded for being able to build worthwhile relationships with pupils and fellow colleagues, relationships that I subsequently make effective use of in reference to pupil progress and management.

As well as being dedicated, hard-working and extremely passionate about teaching, I trust that I would work most effectively in any school that has a strong emphasis on everyone working as one team. One piece of feedback …show more content…

In addition to this, I also received training from Google, on the use of virtual reality and high technology within the classroom; which is highly beneficial when considering the vision of classrooms of the future. As an NQT, I would endeavour to continue extending my professional development to become a valuable asset to any school to support not only children with SEND needs but to challenge the more able too.

Prior to the PGCE, I graduated from the University of Wolverhampton with a First Class BA (Hons) degree in Childhood, Family and Education Studies. The course focused heavily on educational research and the involvement of families and communities in schools. This knowledge also enthused my application, as I am aware of how vital the inclusion of community and families is to schools.

Whilst studying my degree, I volunteered for ChildLine. The role involved me working experienced professionals that have a wealth of knowledge of how best to suit and meet children’s specific needs. The experience inspired my desire to teach further as, regardless of how stressful and challenging teaching can be, it is very much worthwhile when you consider that you’re inspiring children and making a positive impact on their

Education has always been a passion of mine, from teaching my sisters in our makeshift “schoolroom” as children, to beginning real clinical experiences. One prominent moment occurred as I was cadet teaching in a kindergarten classroom my senior year of high school. I vividly remember the overwhelming excitement I felt when my students, who could not even write their names at the beginning of the year, composed goodbye letters for me on the last day of school. Seeing them come bounding towards me as I entered the room saying “Ms. Yager look what I wrote for you” had me smiling from ear to ear. This simple act validated the love and passion I have for teaching, and in that moment I knew there was nothing else I could consider for my career.

When thinking about my future career, I have always known that I wanted to work with children in an educational environment; however, it was not until my junior year of undergraduate school that I decided how I was going to do it. I learned that the best way to make an impact was to work individually with the students. Growing up, I had a relatively large family, which meant that I was continuously watching my younger cousins and helping out any way that I could. Additionally, that also required me to teach and help with school and related activities. Not only was I an older cousin to look up to and rely on, but I also became a mentor for helping them navigate through life.
