1Question

Tell me about a time you had to adapt your teaching approach for a struggling student

During my Year 4 placement, I noticed Jamie was struggling with multiplication tables despite whole-class teaching methods. I identified that he was a kinaesthetic learner through observation and assessment. I created hands-on activities using manipulatives and movement-based games, spending 15 minutes daily with targeted support. Within 4 weeks, Jamie improved from knowing 2 times tables to confidently recalling up to 8 times tables, and his confidence in maths increased significantly as evidenced by his willingness to participate in class discussions.
2Question

How do you maintain work-life balance while managing the demands of primary teaching?

I recognised early in my career that sustainable teaching requires clear boundaries. I implemented a system where I complete all marking and planning during designated school hours, staying until 5pm three days per week but leaving by 4pm on Fridays. I batch-prepare resources on Sundays for 2 hours maximum, and use assessment apps to streamline feedback. This approach allowed me to maintain 95% lesson quality ratings whilst preserving evenings for personal time, resulting in better energy and creativity in the classroom.
