Educational Goals
My goals for the next year or 2 once completing my degree would be to:
In the next 3-5 years of my teaching career I aim:
- Finding a job at a school that will assist me continually improve and develop my teaching and learning skills. I hope to be in a school environment that will provide me with the patience and the support to fulfill my potential.
- Improve my early years skills (Grade Prep - Grade 2) and develop a better understanding of the techniques used to improve students learning at a young age. Develop strategies to introduce literacy and mathematics to grade prep - grade 2.
- I will look to develop positive working relationships with all teaching and non-teaching staff members by collaborating with teachers, attend personal development days, staff functions and sharing my ideas with all members of staff. I will look to try new strategies as well as use some of the strategies I have learnt during my time in schools. This will enable me to create my own teaching identity and style, which I will adopt to the classes that I am teaching in.
- I aim to develop positive relationships with parents, students and other members of the community by getting involved in all community and school activities such as camp, coaching sporting teams, organising clubs and if at a catholic school become involved in celebrating the holy sacraments and attending church services with the students.
In the next 3-5 years of my teaching career I aim:
- Use the experience I have gained to step up into any leading teacher role. It would be great if it would be in the physical education sector of education but I will be happy with any other subjects.
- Involved in the planning of the physical education curriculum and develop different ways physical education could be incorporated with other subjects.
- Continue to develop and implement learning practices I have learnt and maybe look to take on a pre-service teacher and pass on the experience, knowledge and learning practices that I have gathered through out the years.
- I would still like to be teaching in a primary area and look to develop a strong relationship with the school community in order to enhance the schools profile.
- Finally I will look to be apart of the school council and have a say it the direction the school is going in order to improve.
