Teacher Position At The Isaac Newton Academy

Improved Essays
I am applying for a Maths teacher position at the Isaac Newton Academy because I firmly believe that I have what it takes to make students’ progress in every single lesson.
I have taught in a number of schools, including covering different schools and subjects. This enabled me to work with different people and meet many students. The brief moment that I used to work as a cover teacher helped me to be flexible, committed and experience managing students in different subjects.
I have worked at a boys’ only school (Harris Boys Academy, East Dulwich) for nearly a year, where I met some challenging students, but because all of us worked as a team, the school turned up to be very successful.
In my planning, I always try to make the lessons relevant by linking them to the real life situations and current issues that happen around us, believing that this is the best way to

Some of the students in this cohort had some lifetime medical conditions and the whole class had no access to the curriculum. My role was to plan and teach themed lessons and I enjoyed that challenge and did it whole heartedly. This experience made me be thankful for everything and also develop empathy. I will not hesitate doing a similar role again if asked.
Thankfully, as a person, I was brought up without any trace of luxury, so I value every single resource. I do not appreciate seeing people misuse resources while there are millions of people who need them. With this in mind, I always make sure things are looked after. Sometimes I buy equipment for my classes, this makes me even determined to make sure they are well utilised.
I am a good professional, who like to find solutions to the problems and not to complain. I like what I am doing and because I spend a considerable amount of my time at school, I regard my working place as a very important venue, hence I try to invest in making it an enjoyable place to

    Each person has his or her individual path to follow, no two paths are exactly the same; but, every now and then, paths interweave and people construct bonds with each other. In the case of Sonny and his brother, the narrator, in James Baldwin’s short story, “Sonny’s Blues”, their paths were parallel with one another until they grew up. Sonny left the slums of Harlem, aspiring to become a musician, while his brother settled in Harlem and became a teacher. Although the narrator and his brother ended up with completely different lives, the narrator being a family man with a teaching job and Sonny, an ex-convict playing jazz at a club, are ironically more similar than they are portrayed.…

    For the disability ministry project, we were asked to choose a practicum experience where we shadowed or spoke to someone helping someone with a disability. For my project I chose to spend some time in the class for disabled children at the high school I graduated from. Throughout the glimpse of time that was allotted for this particular practicum experience I learned a lot of exciting things about disabilities, but also made some disconcerting revelations. While spending the day at school I was able to interact with the students, teachers, and overall staff of the high school; gaining insights, perspectives, and forming thoughts on everything I had witnessed. From start to finish, my day back at school has left a lasting impression on me.…

    1 I come from a long line of educators and administrators on both sides of my family. Various relatives of mine have taught me to understand and appreciate the importance of education. This being the case, they have inspired my decision to be a teacher, preferably an elementary school teacher. Last year, I sat in on my aunt’s third grade class at Washington Irving, an elementary school in my district that I attended for three years. After visiting the classroom a handful of times, I absolutely fell in love.…

Living in times like these, recession plays a huge role on unemployment rates which eventually leads to homelessness. Not only that but natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy, left thousands of people homeless in New York.…

    “Strive for excellence!”, “Keep pushing yourself to the best of your ability.” , and “Have heart.” These are just a few of the many words of encouragement my dad would tell me as I grew up. At the time, I thought he was only referring to the sports I was playing. Whether it was gymnastics, softball, basketball, or volleyball, he was always pushing me to be the best I could be. I never dreamed these words would mean so much to me and ensue me to aspire my accomplishments thus far and the accomplishments I strive for in the future.…
