I am highly motivated Physical Education Teacher with experience of 10 years in teaching different curriculums from primary to secondary. I started my career in India with CBSE & ICSE schools then moved to Dubai in 2016 and got a new experience in teaching with one of the Gems National Curriculum of England School Dubai, and in the past few years my teaching has developed by using different strategies in lessons.

My time in school has developed my philosophy of valuing each child as an individual, as
well as part of a community. I aim to give children as many learning opportunities and
experiences as possible in order to engage, motivate and prepare them for future life. An
appropriate, balanced, challenging and creative curriculum is essential in developing
children’s skills, knowledge and understanding. These all underpin personalized learning.

I have in particular come to understand the value of sharing learning objectives and success criteria with children. Knowing exactly what is expected and how they can achieve allows children to focus more clearly on tasks. This also facilitates effective self and peer assessments, as there are clear criteria and objectives to assess against, encouraging children to take more responsibility for their own learning.

Progression needs to be planned for, so that as children work and explore at their own pace, there is always something else ready to move them on and take them further in their learning. I also believe that differentiation and meeting varied learning styles are key to effective teaching and learning. Work should be set at an appropriate, but challenging, level.

I would like to explore more challenges in my professional career and take my teaching to next level.
