It is with great interest and enthusiasm I apply for the job of Early Years Foundation Stage Class Teacher.
After extensive and varied experience of working throughout St Michaels Catholic Primary School and Cavendish Primary School, I would like to continue my career as a Foundation Stage, Class Teacher.
My current position, working as a full time Reception Class Teacher requires excellent communication with children, other teachers, child-care professionals and parents who often come from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Patience and sensitivity are vital when communicating with adults and children in the school setting and these qualities, I believe, are my strengths. My work as a Class Teacher and a Subject Leader requires the

I record both, short and long observations of the children and alongside their drawings and photographs, collate a learning journal, which is then shared with their parents. This allows me to plan activities that interest and challenge the children and set the next steps for each child. This also encourages parents to work in close partnership with the school. I undertake home visits each year. These visits enable me to participate in the positive development of home-school links. I also work in close partnership with the school’s SENCO and outside agencies, and so I am aware of children’s varying needs – from special education needs to those who may be gifted and talented. I am familiar with children’s IEP’s and the reviewing of their targets as I am involved in entering assessments into Classroom Monitor, the online assessment tool.
Every half term, the children complete a summative assessment task, which I record on Classroom Monitor and on our half-termly trackers. I then use this data to track the progress of my children and create an action plan to identify the next steps in learning for children. I use the information from case studies to inform my future planning for the child. Due to the recent changes in the EYFS and EY Profile, I summarise the “Best Fit” judgment concerning the age and stage that a child is working within. This helps me to
I am passionate about working in a primary school to support the education and welfare of pupils and families.
We get feedback from them about what activities they like or do not like. We give the children a certain degree of choice for activities and snack. The parents also get newsletters about what we are doing each term and are encouraged to speak to their child about the topic, come along and speak to the child’s keyworker or member of staff, or bring items in relevant to the specific topic, opening hours, holidays etc.
When working with children at a head start program a lot of the children are coming from different cultures and languages. I had to find ways to communicate with the children and their families that did not understand the English language by providing visual support and finding resources
I am a qualified Childcare Practitioner with 12 years’ experience, who would love the opportunity to embark on a career as a Primary Teacher. I am currently employed in a local authority pre-five nursery class within a Primary School. I aspire to become a teacher as I feel it will offer me new challenges and a chance to further develop my love of teaching. I am a dedicated worker and continually strive to provide high standards. I also promote confidence, respect and compassion to ensure all members of the nursery and school are respected.
A/c 1.2 The benefit of using a child centred model of assessment and planning is that you concentrate on the person and their specific and individual set of needs and circumstances. A child centred model promotes the rights of the child and allows them to communicate and say what they want for themselves. When children are moved to make the correct choice and take a lead using this type of assessment they tend to succeed as they develop their needs. Children and young people’s needs can be identified through observation and the sharing of information between those that are involved in the care of the young people or children. The parents and class teachers are the best places to identify individual needs because the young people spend more time at school and home than they do anywhere else. School/ home visits, review meetings, hospital consultations are some of the
I have a degree in BA Honours in Primary Education at Nottingham Trent University with my specialism being Early Years. Academically I studied how to support children learning through play, forest schools in the early years, safe guarding, equal opportunities and inclusion and practice. This supported my understanding of my role as a teacher in placement.
The child, as happy as could be, runs through the front doors with a huge amount of excitement. While the two gloomy parents walk through the door after him, their eyes fill with tears. “Wait!,” shouts his mom as they walk through the doors. There she was, his kindergarten teacher, walking towards them with a big smile on her face to greet her new student! Indeed, early education teachers are the most upbeat people, but that is not all. In fact, early educators have to investigate different things before committing to a school, some being the job opportunity, pay, and advancements.

I have wanted to become a teacher as long as I can remember. I just started pursuing my dreams. Half of my life, I have been worrying what my family and friends want me to be. As of right now, it is a slow pace to get where I want to be. Even if the first step into my career field would be substituting. Substituting seems like it would be a great place to start after I get done with all my credits at Thomas Nelson. It would get me introduced to the field of education first hand. It would get me familiar with the school I would be apply at. Most importantly, I would get to know the students. Everything that I’m working on is to get me to my dream job. I want to be a second grade teacher at Poquoson Primary School. It is the school I went to as a child. It would be nostalgic and rewarding to be able to work at that school. “It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom,” said by Michael Morpurgo.
