Summary

I have been in the early childhood sector around 8 years and I have loved learning from other teachers whilst working and as well as being on placement. I would love to describe myself as always willing to word hard no matter what circumstance I'm placed in and always valuing opinions of the people I work with. Regarding children I love the concept of "children having a sense of agency and the environment being their third teacher", and our role as teacher is viewing them as capable individuals and always having a sense of empathy towards each child. Having a positive relationship with the families is also vital part of a Childs learning.
