I have sound knowledge and
understanding of curriculum, learning, assessment theories and Treaty of
Waitangi implications. I can effectively plan in-depth programmes, develop and
implement assessment strategies that promote effective teaching and learning
practice. My goal is to create and maintain a healthy interactive learning
environment that caters for the needs of all students.
I have excellent communicative and
people skills. I am trustworthy, responsible and committed to learning and
teaching. I look forward to challenges, enjoy to laugh and to work with a team
of highly motivated professionals. I will offer any school a highly motivated,
energetic staff member, who is willing to tackle challenges, be involved in
extra curricula activities inside and outside the school environment.
PHILOSPHY STATEMENT
Through my teaching practice aim to
empower, motivate and encourage children to reach their full potential. I
believe that a strong relationship between student, home and school is the key
to the foundation of ongoing learning. I aim to empower students to talk about
their learning and successes, and understand what next steps they need to take
in order continue their progress in learning.
A co-constructivist framework
underpins my teaching philosophy. Under this notion students and recognised as
an in-depth source of knowledge and are encouraged to share ideas with their
peers and teachers throughout the learning process. Knowledge and understanding
will be gained through hands on authentic investigation and exploration of
their surroundings.
Curriculum delivery will focus on
building upon children’s prior knowledge through notions of scaffolding,
modelling , using exemplars and by using examples from real life situations.
I understand the essential need to
develop strong ties with the community. In turn helping to provide important
background knowledge of the child and developing trust and understanding
between myself and the community.
Upholding my philosophy of
co-constructivism is the notion of reflection. Through reflection I will
continue to develop my own practice, learning and professionalism. I will
explore my own existing ideologies and reconstruct goals and plan based on
knowledge gained through personal experience, professional learning
opportunities and research. I have an open mind to constructive criticism and
welcome feedback that will help further the development of my own teaching
practice.
