Personal Summary
I am a confident, committed and conscientious qualified Primary School Teacher who gained a 2:1 in (BA HONS)
Primary Education with QTS. I have worked in various different primary schools, in which I used differentiation,
creativity and precise and effective planning to support children of all abilities through their journey in education..
My observations also highlighted my capability to encourage a love for learning through imaginative lessons and
an engaging demeanour. My knowledge of IT is extensive and I passed the Maths and Literacy Skills tests first
time.
Key Skills and Achievements
Great behaviour management; my behaviour management has always been praised and I was awarded
with the highest level within my placements by using the School’s behaviour policies and/or my own
methods when needed.
Planning engaging lessons and using differentiation; planning for different learning styles, creating
appropriate resources and using activities to help with critical thinking, self-assessment and taking
ownership.
Extensive knowledge of IT; Microsoft programmes such as Microsoft office, Word and Excel; can use
spread sheets; databases; fax machines and photocopiers.
Safeguarding and welfare; providing a safe and healthy environment for all children and staff by
ensuring I follow policies and use initiative in conjunction with attending meetings and training
programmes.
Strong teacher pupil relationships; creating an environment of trust, mutual respect and authority.
Good time keeping; managing a large workload, remaining punctual and meeting deadlines.
Great at communicating with staff and parents; ensuring there is respect and understanding with
parents- working with parents to provide the best education and care for pupils e.g. working together to
tackle a behaviour issue and communicating efficiently with staff in all areas of teaching e.g. informing
teaching assistant of duties before lesson starts.
Working efficiently in groups and individually; working professionally with other staff to plan effective
lessons and divide role and tasks e.g. ‘I will plan Maths for the week and you plan English’; making sure
lesson plans are given to other staff on time; informing of issues or important information (safeguarding)
e.g. reporting a concerns to the an appropriate and relevant member of staff and working together to
handle a situation; working alone for long periods of time- using initiative and independence.
Inspiring and motivating people; positive, confident and driven
Organised; lessons planned on time, tidy classroom, information given out on time e.g. letters, keeping a
diary of future meetings and training programmes; displays and marking up to date.
Imaginative skills; using fun resources e.g. large pizza cut outs and role playing in a ‘café’ to teach
fractions; using different ways of assessing e.g. maths quiz for a plenary and involving different methods
within lessons to practice various learning styles e.g. kinaesthetic methods- feeling sand and glitter and
then writing a description of what it felt like using adjectives in Literacy
