I want to be a positive force in my community: to support teachers to be kind, nurturing, aspirational and inspirational. I believe positivity is contagious and can transform people and places. I want to empower teachers to grow in their profession and contribute to empowering their students. I strive to make my classes engaging, motivating and intellectually challenging but at the same time accessible to everyone in the class. It is important to me that I create a learning environment in which each teacher feels part of the community and wants to support the others. I strongly believe that teaching is also about learning and continuous development; it is organic and constantly changing.

I want to use my life and energy as a positive force in the world. I wish to bring joy and happiness to others, to illuminate their potential and to bring out the best I can in them. My job as a teacher is to pass down wisdom and nurture a sense of self discovery and curiosity. I aim to make learning something fearless and intrinsic within my students so that it is carried with them throughout their life and provides the foundations for positive choices/actions. I believe a tutors passion and love for their subject carries a ephemeral energy which is infectious, it can pull in even the most reluctant of students and alters the course of a students life for the better. Every time I teach a class I learn something new about myself, I love to learn and I hope that inspires others to reach out and enrich their lives.

I want to pass my knowledge gained in industry over 20 years on to the next generation of engineers. I like to call on my past to share my work experiences good or bad to enhance my method of teaching and add validity to the units that I teach. I feel like every experience at work can be valuable, even if something goes pear shaped on a bad day, I think we learn more from mistakes than when things all go well the first time which is something I try to teach my learners. I enjoy teaching apprentices as I get to see the next generation of engineers coming though and I feel fortunate enough to be a part of their education. I try to contextualise everything I teach and call from my experiences in the mining and petro-chem sectors to make the subjects taught relatable to what the learners will be facing in industry. I really feel fortunate for the career path that engineering has led me down even with the twists and turns. I believe this teacher training course is a new path on the journey that I started 22 years ago when I was the same age as most of my learners.

I feel like my teaching ethos changes all the time. When I first started teaching I wanted to inspire students with the same passion as I have to achieve their hopes and dreams of working with animals. That much has not changed, I still feel like I have a lot of knowledge to pass onto Animal Management students, but having taught my first year I realise there is much more to teaching than the lessons. I want to be a positive influence on the learners lives, for them to feel safe in the learning environment, as sometimes that will be the only place they feel safe. I want to be a teacher that has high expectations but in return encourages learners to be aspirational. I want to make my lessons interesting, relevant and engaging and be able to include all learners with adaptive teaching. I am really looking forward to learning how to be the best teacher I can be and reflecting on my own practices will help me to develop and grow throughout my career.

I aspire to be like the positive lecturer I once had. This person showed me that it is not just about giving people information and skills to get through a course, it is about building confidence to believe in yourself.
I want to give learners confidence in their own abilities, I want to inspire them to push themselves and achieve what sometimes others have told them they will never achieve! I want to be motivating and make them feel part of a team within their class. I want them to feel like the classroom is a safe space to be able to talk about things freely, and not feel like they are going to be judged.
I want to guide learners to be empathetic towards others, to help them to see that everyone has had different experiences in life that we may need to be sympathetic to. I want them to see each other as a support network, so if at anytime they feel they need it they have someone to lean on. I want them to see me as approachable if they need to come to me about anything for support, I want learners to know they can do that.
I want to be the best teacher I can be to help guide learners through, I really strive to be engaging and supportive of everyone's needs. I aim to draw on my experience to show learners how knowledge gained in the classroom can impact in the roles they have chosen to go into. I want to give them the foundations that they can then build on throughout not only their professional career but in their everyday life.

I plan to be a positive reinforcement in learner's educational journey. Allowing them to be able to explore and take ownership of their own learning. A key idea for my ethos is building subject skills sets, but also getting learners excited about knowing and comprehending new knowledge. Building up research skills to ensure that once learners leave my class they can continue to be life long learners who have control over their learning journey and what they want to pursue.

I want to create a comfortable environment for all learners that champions acceptance and inclusivity. When learners enter the door for class, they know they can be who they want to be without judgement. I strongly believe that being comfortable in a class is one of the key first steps when leaning and studying and can be a major barrier to education when this is not achieved. I constantly stay positive and strongly encourage learners to build upon their optimism and maintain this. However, as an educator I believe it is important to allow learners to express their feelings as this can affect engagement and also work progress. Understanding learners every step of the way is essential to really maximise their individual potential. Education can be disheartening sometimes for learners, however building resilience and staying up beat can really aid a learner's educational journey.

Another ideal that I will place here is the celebration of mistakes. I vow to never know everything about pedagogical practice nor subject specialist content. Everything is forever changing. I feel mistakes as an educator can be celebrated with students, it make us more relatable, but also, it demonstrates that mistakes are okay as a learner. First attempt in learning (F.A.I.L) happens all the time. There is often a stigma associated with this that can be unpleasant and unwanted. When teaching, mistakes should be rewarded, it shows that the learner has tried and given the activity a go. Progress can only be measured  if a starting point is created, and instead of letting F.A.I.L be an end point, what if we celebrated it instead and flipped it on it's head to make this a starting point to measure learner's progress from.

A final thought from me, and the attached picture states a lot. We as teachers need to be 'Rockstars' for learners, we can often be seen as influential to learners. As a result of this, we need to exhibit key morals in our teaching practice, not only for ourselves but for those who trust us with their education.

My teaching ethos is to make a difference. By using my knowledge and vast experience in SEND I want to make an impact on the educational system, by using inclusive practice and differentiated teaching to ensure all learners are given the opportunities they are entitled to.
I want to build my learners into confident, independent and resilient individuals that succeed in life where ever their journey takes them. As a teacher I want to support my students to be engaged and interested in their education by taking ownership of their own path ahead. By ensuring they have the tools and knowledge to accomplish their goals. Plus making learning fun!

My teaching ethos is that I want to be the teacher that makes it easy for students to come into college with the attitude of ‘today I will try’.

I want to support students to develop the positive mindset and passion for learning that will see them come into my lessons, even when their minds are consumed with woes or tired from the night before. Why? Because I want to encourage students to build a resilience towards the all too often relentless attacks of an adolescent mind. I want to support and develop the kind of thinking that enjoys a challenge. The kind of thinking that can spot the ‘wins’ on the bad days and can be resilient in the face of having a good try but not quite landing that goal.

I want to be the kind of teacher that encourages effort and provides the motivation and clear guidance on the next target and the next step up. To go beyond developing ‘knowing’ and fuelling the ‘growing’ for each student.

At some point in the future, I want to have interested students in the course so much that they feel an unnatural urge to interrupt me to share a new article or documentary that they saw and how it made them think about this concept and that theory. I would like to see my students develop a solid belief in their ability to achieve when they invest time and energy in their goals.

I would like to be a teacher who is always rational and calm, with the mental dexterity to improvise and be creative with learning materials.

I would like to become the rare kind of teacher that ex-students think of when they reach an achievement later in life and think “she would have loved this.” The kind of teacher whose belief and motivation stays with students for years after they leave the classroom.

As a teacher I wanted to inspire my students and wanted to be someone whom they can look up to for any kind of knowledge in my profession. I want to not only impart knowledge to the students but to motivate them to learn more. They should be able to kickstart their own thinking and reasoning power.  I just don't want to impart the bookish knowledge but develop their ability to use and apply that knowledge in problem solving. Along with professional knowledge, I also want to teach them the essence of becoming good humans and good maritime officers. I want to create students who are excellent officers and excellent human being. I want that they should understand the power of "WE" rather than "I" because on ship and in life , its all about "WE". I want to be a teacher whose classes no student would ever want to miss and every student would have the confidence that I will make the subject very easy to understand and the class will be very interesting to attend. Since learning is a continuous process hence I want to train the students to develop the power of reasoning, ability to ask "WHY and "HOW" and this will help them in learning more when they are on their own . This way they will grow more themselves.
Hope I become one like this.

I aspire to be ignite a want to learn within my learners. To use my experiences from industry and share these with the new generation of early years practitioners. I want to inspire students to be able to strive for roles and careers that others have told them they would never achieve. To provide an environment for learners to feel comfortable to make mistakes and use these as learning opportunities to grow. I want to be a teacher who is creative, reflective and fearless,  all qualities to help develop myself but equally qualities I would love to role model to students.

I want to be a teacher that provides a safe space for my students. I want them to feel like the problems outside the classroom are not relevant inside, that they can let it go and enjoy learning. I want them to know they can come and speak to me and provide a welcome space. I want my students to be champions for the subject, learning, themselves and each other. Feeling supported and safe to explore who they are and their opinions, whilst respecting others.
I want to pass my passion of criminology as a subject on to those that pass through my door and help them to see what a wide number of skills/subject matter it can cover.
I want my students to be inspired to take the subject further and be the beacon for change needed.
