I believe that I am a respectful and hard working team member, who is open minded and enjoys contributing to the overall school vision. My ability to work well in a team is demonstrated in my practicums through strong and effective communication with staff and involvement in all aspects of teaching such as duties, lunch time clubs, staff meetings, assemblies and sporting events. At each school I took the time to read their policies and procedures to ensure that I was well informed, used correct school imposed strategies and actively enforced school rules. I also demonstrated ability to communicate with parents through notes, awards home and discussions within the school as well as community members through sporting days. I believe that as a new graduate that I still have so much to learn and that learning will be a life long commitment. I have already began to engage in professional learning which I have demonstrated by completing training in Seven Steps to Writing Success and Primary Connection training.
