Summary

I am a 3rd Year student teacher of Physical Education and History. During this three-week school placement, I hope to improve my teaching skills with regards to pedagogical practise, as well as gain key practical classroom experience that I will carry forth with me in my teaching career. I hope to achieve this by participating in a multitude of learning environments with students and co-operating teachers. I aim to learn effective classroom management techniques while building a rapport with students, as well as develop my skills to cater to students' individual needs in a fun and inclusive learning environment.
