Teacher

Mar 2022 - now

  • Planned play-based activities around children’s observed interests, with materials accessible to differing language and motor abilities; made the activity accessible without prescribing one correct way for children to participate.
  • Used anecdotal records to compare a child’s interactions across play, meals and transitions, separating observation from interpretation; adjusted the next activity with the head teacher using the child’s current developmental needs.
  • Established classroom routines with students and documented consistent responses for recurring behavior situations; made expectations and follow-up clearer for students, families, and support staff.
  • Planned play-based activities around children’s observed interests, documented language and social development in anecdotal records, and shared concrete observations with parents rather than labeling the child.
  • Used observation notes to plan a play-based curriculum for young children, adjusted materials for differing language and motor abilities, and shared classroom examples with parents during a scheduled review.
  • Owned a supervised curriculum activity using classroom observation and child-development goals, resolved unclear instructions and completed a revised lesson plan with the lead teacher.
  • Designed parent communication using recorded learning observations, increased returned learning check-ins from 61% to 82% and published an accessible home-practice guide.

Teacher

Jan 2019 - Feb 2022

  • Shared concise learning updates with families using specific work evidence and agreed next steps. Turned family communication into a documented learning partnership rather than a one-way notice.
  • Prepared an individual support plan from observed learning needs, agreed the next review with the learner or family, and checked progress using the same recorded criteria.
  • Compared observations across different activities before drawing a conclusion about a learner’s needs. Adapted the support approach with the teaching team and recorded the learner’s response at the next review.
