Mar 2019 - Apr 2019
I provided direct support with students in year 1 and year 2 although I was also able to observe all of the year groups during assembly and larger school activities in the schoolyard. During this period, I learned invaluable skills, most importantly communication, initiative and adaptability. The role itself allowed me to support students inside and outside the classroom. This allowed me to use a variety of teaching methods when I observed each teacher during their lessons.
