I think I just wanted the kids to shut up and listen to me. So I could tell them stuff about music. So I could teach them. It took my a while to work out that I couldn't do this.
I had to get them to do things so that they would learn.]]> 2020-09-30 12:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790928692 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790930235 To be knowledgeable in my subject in order to promote the best outcomes for my students. By continually developing my own subject knowledge, i will be able to deliver topics to students more confidentally. 

To support those students other teachers may view as being too disruptive to teach, by building positive relationships. I'll aslso try hosting after school clubs when possible. I have held jewellery clubs in the past which has really helped me build relationships with students that may have been disruptive during normal lessons. 

I hope to add context to other subjects into my curriculum to show students the wider picture of their own education - particualry with maths and science, showing how these skills can be applied in a creative way. I'll do this by alternating theory and practical sessions to show how skills can be applied and why.

To create a classroom where students feel they can achieve and aren't afraid to ask when they don't understand. To give students the chance to develop their skills and confidence in English so they feel able to communicate and express themselves in every area of their life. To make lessons interesting so students feel engaged and excited to learn.]]> 2020-09-30 12:16:23 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790930549 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790930570 Warm - The door to my classroom will always be open. Whether that is a safe-place for both students or staff, or somewhere people know I will help them with whatever I can. I would like to do this through having set lunchtimes where I will stay in my classroom specifically for students to know where I am to come talk to me.
Inspiring - I would like to become a teacher whom students look forward to seeing. One whose class they are excited to be in. I would love my classroom to be full of bright, encouraging boards. Boards which will have beneficial material and show the students what they will be working on, creating a less intimidating environment. I had my own teacher in High School who pushed me to better myself in all aspects of life. He was there for me to cry to about home life, or cry to about a UCAS application. If it was not for him, I would have struggled a lot more getting through High School and getting into University.

*create a fun learning environment which encourage pupils to learn effectively. use engaging resources and materials compared to traditional, paper, pen copy learning. 
*shows love empathy and care through my personality and teaching style so my pupils feel comfortable in the classroom and promote a positive environment.
I would do this by not trying to shout but by working along side the pupils to ensure they know and understand the expectations  
*effective learning strategies- I would make sure that my classroom allows room for questions e.g. having a questions board where each child can engage in and clear any misconceptions  
*push every child and get the most out of all pupils to be able to achieve the best they can produce 
* I want know the curriculum inside out so I can teach it effectively to my pupils in various ways
*communication and expectations from both teacher and pupils are important. where I would encourage pupils to hold some responsibility over their own learning as well as the teacher to create a good learning environment. discipline is understood by pupils and so they work together to learn.

An important part of becoming this teacher is building strong relationships with students, and planning exciting and interesting lessons that are differentiated and use a range of activities to facilitate learning. I also think praise is a key way of building my pupils confidence so they do not feel afraid to share  and develop their ideas.

One way of building good relationships is to make sure I know students names, and take an interest in them as individuals. It is vital that students know you care about them so you can secure their trust and respect.]]> 2020-09-30 12:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790930740 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790930805 2020-09-30 12:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790930805 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790930997 My teachers were always important to me in terms of supporting me towards my future goals and I want to be able to do this for young adults today. It was always important that I knew where I stood academically so that I could understand what my options were for my future and I found my passion for English during high school. My English teacher always praised my work and supported me whenever I needed help - I want to make the students feel safe around me and be a support system for them and hopefully, make them love English as much as I do. 

To be the teacher that I want to be I have to find my voice in the classroom and create lesson plans that are engaging for the students. I will try to encourage all students to find their voice too - in the classroom and outside of the classroom. I want to create a safe place for students to come to me with any issues and help them through any trouble they are having.]]> 2020-09-30 12:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790930997 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790931299 Hi All! :)]]> 2020-09-30 12:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790931299 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790931595 A teacher should be:
- Patient when dealing with students' behaviours and also provide some amount of care to the students that you are responsible for.
- To inspire them to look at your subject beyond the syllabus and teach usable skills that will be valuable in their day to day life. (For science this may be to teach them to think cynically and use an empirical approach to understanding the world around them.)
- To help them with exam preparation as whilst being too exam orientated with teaching can be a bad thing, so can not focussing on exams enough either. As the system that we are teaching in places great importance on exam performance.
- Past experience at a grammar school showed me that a toxic environment can be created  by focussing to much on results rather than the effort and hurdles that the pupil has had to overcome so I will try to make a classroom environment that credits effort rather than just achievement.
- To inspire students I will try to link topics to potential future-careers or other external uses. (e.g. forces and motion to engineering.) ]]> 2020-09-30 12:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790931595 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790931629 I want to be the sort of teacher that pushes every student and get the best out of them. At the risk of sounding incredibly cliché I want every student to be the best version of themselves. I'd aim to do this by not treating them as a class but as individual students, I'd try to avoid looking at my timetable and thinking "I have year 9 mixed ability now", instead I'd see the class as the individual students that make it up and build an effective student teacher relationship that makes them want to work.
I want to be the sort of teacher where the students would look forwards to coming to my class and would see it more as "Mr. Mainprize's class" rather than "just another maths class".
This last point might be a bit of a stretch but I would really like it if I actually inspired at least some of the students that I teach to become teachers themselves. I think this would be done through general demeanor and attitude in the classroom but I can't put my finger on how I would achieve this. ]]> 2020-09-30 12:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790931629 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790931630 I want to build a classroom environment where students feel challenged, respected, listened to and safe to share their ideas. Ideally I would like every student to love English however I know that's unlikely. If I can share my passion with students and help them to engage with the subject I will be happy. As it is a core subject I want to make sure as many students as possible can see the benefit of the subject and how it will help them in 'the real world'. I want to positively impact the lives of my students, providing the caring and nurturing atmosphere that they need while also educating and preparing them for the future. I would like to be able to deliver lessons that are engaging, fun and useful.

I realized early on that you don't have to be amazing at a subject to be an amazing teacher, in fact it's not always helpful. What really counts is being able to put yourself in the learner's shoes, know something about different learning styles and have some brilliant ways of explaining your topics, as well as mastering a load of shoddy half-working technology, always having back up plans to your best laid plans, at the same time as knowing what is expected in the school and making decisions about when and how to use the sanction system at the same time as never getting distracted from the objectives, and doing this for the thirty or so learners in your care.]]> 2020-09-30 12:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790932851 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790933157 I want to be a teacher that makes history interesting to my students. Even at University so many of my friends hated History or didn't see the use, I want to be able to help children enjoy the past and learn from it. Hopefully I can do this through bringing in objects, relating what they're learning to their present lives, or even just showing them interesting parts of the past that they've never heard of before.  
Also showing my passion for the subject - I dont plan to be one of those teachers who hides away from the topics I enjoy the msot and love. My Y10 students already know how much I love ecclesiastical Tudor History, and they might think I'm sad for it (and they do). But it engages them, and it shows them that this subject is still interesting - its not just the dead and boring past.
I also know that students will recognise and appreciate effort - if you put in effort to learn their names, to speak to them about themselves, and even effort into the work you set. Students will remember those teachers forever, rather than just the subjects they liked the most (although that does help). I will make the effort to speak to my students about their own lives and not just history, I will get to know them as people and not just students. ]]> 2020-09-30 12:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790933157 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790933354 I want to make a difference - and want all children to have a chance. ]]> 2020-09-30 12:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790933354 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790933527 English

The main aim of the students being in my classroom is to learn but it is also to be motivated to enjoy learning and be challenged to explore more themselves. 

How:
- I plan to observe as many lessons in my training year as possible, noting down what makes each teacher an outstanding teacher.
- I note down phrases teachers use, techniques they may use to communicate, certain ways they explain topics and how they motivate students. 
- One of my main focuses is to learn how to control behaviour management in the classroom, as through this it will create a welcoming and inviting environment in the classroom.
- I need to focus on my subject knowledge as students respect and trust a teacher that is knowledgeable in her subject. ]]> 2020-09-30 12:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790935413 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790936261 I want to be able to use differentiated techniques and skills of teaching suitable for every child]]> 2020-09-30 12:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790936261 https://padlet.com/wevans16/rzelzxnq7mfpl8ey/wish/790936533 It does sound incredibly cliche, but every single child deserves an opportunity I no matter how bad the day was before every day is a new day with a new opportunity to learn.

Students come from all kinds of backgrounds, and us as teachers need to be able to be willing to listen and understand a student if they are facing hardships or require additional support.  I aim to create positive relationships with my students, and an environment that is supportive and considerate for students to be able to express how they are feeling. For me it is not only key to make a good impact on students learning, but also their lives beyond the school environment.
