Personal Teaching Statement
  I believe that, to succeed in life, each child needs to be empowered to make sensible choices. I try to always provide a positive learning environment for all children through making the most of children’s personalities. I endeavour to make the classroom a happy place by providing a sense of humour and enthusiasm for activities. Some children come from backgrounds where school is the only real education they have. These children are the ones I feel I can help the most. 
 

“Sharon is a sincere and thoughtful teacher who has demonstrated commitment to the principles of equity and inclusion in her practice.”

“Sharon has made an excellent effort to ascertain the needs of the class and teach directly to them.”

“Sharon puts much energy into creating a lively, highly interactive programme for children.”

“Before the class, Sharon is composed and self-assured, speaking clearly and decisively, yet not afraid to respond with a sense of humour.”

“Sharon encourages children to take increasing responsibility for their own learning and behaviour.”

The school has a mix of cultures, mostly white-European with Maori and Pacific Island children as well as other cultures represented. There are few behaviour problems.

Daily and weekly supply teaching at a medium-sized coeducational school that attracts children from mainly low socio-economic backgrounds. The school has a mix of cultures, mostly white-Europeans with Maori and Pacific Island children as well as other cultures represented.

Teaching involved all levels of classes for part and full days using a range of pre-planned and self-planned teaching. Road Patrol, playground supervision during breaks and liasing with other staff members are also common in the job. I attended the three day yr5 camp in February 2001 as an adult helper involving supervision of planned tasks and free time while walking, rock climbing, swimming and leisure.

Dec 2001 - Aug 2002 Rowley Avenue School,

Daily and weekly supply teaching at a small coeducational school that attracts children from mainly low socio-economic backgrounds. The school has a strong mix of cultures, with high levels of Pacific Island and Maori children as well as white-European children. Many of the children come from non-English-speaking backgrounds. Due to language or social disadvantages a few children present behaviour issues that require interventions to be put in place.

Teaching involved all levels of classes for part and full days using a range of pre-planned and self-planned teaching. Road Patrol, playground supervision during breaks and liasing with other staff members are also common in the job. During my appointment in December 2001, I attended staff meetings and contributed to the end of year concert.
