Growing up I had great teachers who not only taught me, but also inspired me to want to be an amazing teacher just like them. The teacher who inspired me the most was my year 2 primary school teacher who taught me various subjects including English, Maths and Science. She also taught me valuable life lessons such as the benefits of helping and inspiring others.

Even though my former teachers have played a pivotal part in my inspiration to teach, my main influence would have to be my youngest brother who was born when I was 10 years old. I spent a lot of time with him and was able help him to develop his skills. Receiving positive feedback from his teachers during various teacher-parent meetings has always made me feel incredibly proud and inspires me to support future generations learn and develop their skills.

As part of my current course, I am undergoing 280 hours in a placement with children aged 2-3 years old where I can help practitioners observe, plan and implement activities to aid the development children’s holistic skills in a safe environment, thus ensuring children have the essential skills they need when they start primary school. …show more content…

Throughout the 75 days I was there, I was able to learn numerous teaching methods by observing how staff observe, plan and implement activities in order to help children. An activity I enjoyed planning and implementing was when I planned an obstacle course to observe children’s various physical skills such as balancing, co-ordination and flexibility. During the execution of the activity, I learnt how to observe children together using different observation methods. I was then able to plan further activities using the EYFS to see what children aged 4-5 were un/able to do and then plan further to ensure they were able to reach their developmental

Early childhood professionals (ECP) must learn, understand, and acknowledge why and how observation and recording is essential in an early childhood setting (ECS). Pedagogy- means the way we teach; to teach we must understand how. ECP must take into consideration the way the environment is stimulating to the children's growth, the situation being assessed at the time, and understanding how children communicate through play so the observation can be accurate. Play-based learning is an utmost important asset to help children understand the world around them (Ditez & Kashin, 2016). In a play-based environment, we can identify the interests of children, and see how they collaborate with other children in certain situations.

Previously I thought a teacher only needed to know if the child was developing correctly and all student where treated equally. Although there are still some of this in play I have now taken a different approach. One of the interesting issue I learnt from this week was Development Appropriate Practice.

The most important goal for educators when it comes to instructing young children is that the lesson being taught, and the materials used are in developmentally appropriate practice. The term ‘Developmentally Appropriate practice,’ means that the methods used promote children’s ren’s best development and learning through the strengths of the child and a play-based approach to learning (NAEYC,). It is through this practice that children enjoy learning and get to play and explore the materials and world around them. Developmentally appropriate practice can be used in every area that a teacher is teaching a child in. Areas such as Math, literacy, gross motor development, fine motor development, and even writing can have a developmentally appropriate

Working with children and helping them to succeed is an aspect of my life that I have always cherished. From the time that I was very young, I have always loved working with other people, as well as leading them.

I was a part of the PALS program and I also helped with the Elementary School's production of the Little Mermaid. During these tasks, I was given the opportunity to help and inspire children of all ages.

Solving the teaching problem lies in granting teachers the ability to teach effectively and receive incentives that make their job worth having. The profession is not an easy one and comes with plenty of responsibility and should be treated as such. However, is the plan of giving teachers better incentives reasonable? I asked a family member, my step-mother, what she thought about the solution of setting a higher standards for teachers and creating more incentives for the profession? After going through some of the potential solutions to the problem and how the profession could be transformed into something more and provide students with a better education system she agreed with the overall concept.

Teaching is something that no one should do if they do not have the heart to do it. Anybody can teach, but it takes a special person to be at teacher. An instructor have to be kind and patient because everyone do not learn at the same pace. They also have to be caring because if a student sees that the educator do not care about them, they are less likely to respect them. Teachers are the leaders of the classroom and they have to set good examples so that the students will have something positive to follow.

For me teaching is a family affair. My mother, mother in-law, multiple aunts and uncles, are all teachers. This is the exact reason why I did not originally pursue teaching as my career. I wanted to “break the mold” and do something different than what was expected. After obtaining my degree, working in the business field for nearly 5 years and starting a family , I have changed my tune quite a bit.
