Homework Challenge E2 - Interview someone who is in a job that interests you

I decided to complete homework challenge E2 which is to interview someone who is in a job that interests you.  I decided to interview Paula as she is a Preschool Teacher and I enjoyed my work experience so much I thought this would be interesting to find out more about being a Preschool Teacher.

First I designed a questionnaire and then interviewed Paula.

1. What is your name? - Paula Wilson 
2. What is your job? - Preschool Teacher
3. How long have you been in your job? - Over 10 years
4. What made you interested in your job? - I started baby sitting while at High School and I enjoyed working with  young kids.
5. Did you always want to be a Preschool Teacher? - No I first thought I wanted to be a nurse but very glad I choose the path of a Preschool Teacher.
6. What qualifications do you need for your job? - Diploma of Teaching Early Childhood Education and I also got my Teacher Registration. Teacher Registration is optional but beneficial and also means a higher pay.
7. How long was your training? - 3 years, mainly practical placements in the third year.
8. Where did you go for your training? - NZ College of Early Childhood Education.
9. What is the best thing about your job? - Working with children and it is lots of fun watching them grow and develop.
10. What are the things you don't like about your job? - Paperwork and staff meetings.
11. What was one of your best moments at your work and why? - Having grateful parents that appreciate the job you do.
12. What is the hardest thing about your job? - Talking to the parents when a child has behavior issues / problems.
13. If I was interested in doing your job for my career what would your advice be to me?

• Make sure you get your qualifications including teacher registration
• Be prepared to dance and sing with the children
• Be a good role model and get involved with activities with the children.

Leadership

Today I had peer mediation and got assigned to a different area of the school than I had been doing.  I showed leadership by keeping focused on my job despite lots of little kids jumping all over me.  I had fun today and it's good to give back to the little kids.

Leadership

• On Monday I had librarian and I was the only one there so it was very busy and I think I showed leadership by doing both jobs at once.

• Wednesday I had peer mediation I showed leadership by sorting out a problem between two groups of young girls and did it with respect.

Jubilee writing

Oaklands school had their 50th Jubilee on labour weekend this year. I am in ar 7. In 50 years time when they have their 100th Jubilee I will be 61. In 50 years I think these changes would have happened at oaklands school... BYOD stands for Bring-Your-Own-Device- I think most kids will have their own device and bring it to school every day.also, I think it will be all open plan in the class rooms so heaps of kids the same year in one class room and have like 4 teachers in the same class room. plus I think the C.A.R.E values would have changed { Community-Active thinking-Respect-Excellence } to some thing else, but I still think they will use C.A.R.E as the starting letters. I am not looking forward to turning 61 but I am looking forward to coming back to this school.    

poetry

W.A.L.T: make our own original poem.

RHYTHM

Rhythm is a beat that goes through the poem.


my poem:

there was a young girl called jackie
she was a little bit wacky
she went to tec
and played with bec
then made a hacky sacky

My next step is to: be a bit more creative.

My term 4 goals

My academic goal is: to get my steps done each week because I need to work on my spelling and get the basic words learnt. Also I am going to get all my homework done and more because I need to get it done and I normally only do the minimum.

My social/behaviour goal is: to be nice to everyone even if I don't like them because I want everyone to be happy and have fun like I would like to feel.

My respect goal is: to respect everyone's opinion even if its different to mine because everyone is different and has a different opinion.
