Why I Want To Pursue A Career As A Primary Education

I have decided to apply for a primary education course as I enjoy working with young students and I am passionate about helping the future generations with their education. In sixth form I study four subjects including: BTEC science, Applied Business, Applied I.C.T and BTEC Health and Social. These courses all provide me with a good skill set in order to study for a primary education degree. The subjects I am doing provide me with appropriate skills for this course as Health and Social required me to do a work placement for 100 hours. For this placement I decided to work at All Saints National Primary School. It was through this work placement that I learned that teaching was the career for me. As well as this I do I.C.T. which in this day and age is a relevant course to do, especially for teachers, considering the amount of technology they have to use daily. I also do BTEC science and Applied Business these subjects do provide me with skills such as essay writing and organisational skills that are required to be a teacher.
Since starting my work placement I have worked with a range of different year groups but mainly Years 1/2. I also did a work placement for a week at this school in July 2016 this was done with a Years 3/4 class. I have done a variety of different tasks when I have been at my work placement which has resulted in me having to work one on one with students or sometimes work with a group of students and this has helped me improve my communication skills. I have helped mark assessments and even given feedback to students so to help them further improve. I am currently still doing my work
