Sobia

I am a qualified a primary school teacher with over 17 years of teaching experience. I currently teach year 5 in a well established school; in addition to this, I have experience of teaching across KS1 and KS2. I am familiar and up to date with the National curriculum. All of my lesson observations achieve outstanding feedback from the senior leaders. I am well versed with assessment as learning and assessment for learning. I am fully trained in the delivery of phonics and can use this to help learners develop early reading. As well as a class based teacher, I am experienced in supporting and teaching children to prepare them for their SATs in Y2 and Y6.

What do I teach?
Phonics: I completed my training in `Sounds-Write` Phonics. Sounds-Write uses a linguistic approach in teaching phonics whereby a student develops reading fluency through decoding and blending the sounds.

Writing: I plan my lessons carefully taking I to knowledge the student`s prior knowledge. All my lessons are in line with the National Curriculum.

Maths: My lessons build on from the student`s proor knowledge. I can use models and images to make learning easier amd to support the fundamental notions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division before addressing reasoning problems. I am familiar with the White Rose Maths scheme as I currently teach using this scheme and resources.

My teaching style
I commence each lesson with a review or retrieval of previous lesson. Retrieval is an integral part of learning. Spaced retrieval allows children to build their long term memory. I introduce new material in small steps, with effective modelling too. The use of `steps to success` allows the student to identify any key steps(s) they have missed out. I provide immediate feedback marking to allow the student to to formally assess any gaps or next steps.
The work I provide will be in line with the National Curriculum and age appropriate. We will begin with fluency related questions and advance on to using and applying.
