Teaching assistant (work experience)
During my work experience in Kingswood primary, I shadowed a full-time teacher and assisted in supporting small groups, targeted individual children who needed extra support as well as day to day classroom duties. I assisted in lesson planning for effective curriculum delivery (including work and stimuli for those with diagnosed learning impairments) and I also helped with classroom displays which supported learning across the curriculum. Additionally, I participated in meetings with full-time teachers and gave my input on improving the delivery of education to the students of the school. I participated in reflective discussions at the end of each day so that adjustments and improvements would be made for the next day. I also supported with playground duties as well Physical Education lessons, where I was entrusted with taking small groups to learn specific techniques.
