A letter from Mr Young. Teaching has always been a hugely important job that’s recently taken on more of a significant role. During the pandemic, teachers shifted their focus from classroom teaching to creating online activities that provided children with some sort of normality. Although numerous things have changed post-pandemic, several things have stayed the same. Having to regularly wash our hands more than we used to is new, but one thing that hasn’t changed, is the fact teachers still want every child in their class to push themselves as far as they possibly can. An analogy I always use involves ‘doors.’ The more you and your pupils put into achieving goals together, the greater their understanding of what’s possible. And when they’re older, they’ll have more opportunities, or doors, available to them when they make their career choices and go on to leave education. As well as making sure children have plenty of doors to open when they’re older, teachers are influential role models, who should ideally lead by example. Showing children it’s okay to get things wrong, correct their mistakes and talk things through with others will equip them with strategies that’ll enable them to face the many challenges they’ll encounter beyond childhood. You see, teaching isn’t just about maths and English. It’s a rich and varied profession that helps you develop with every new situation you encounter. I’d never felt such personal satisfaction in my working life until I became a teacher. It’s a feeling like no other and I’m sure you want that feeling too. To set yourself on the path to this enormously rewarding career, get in touch with the Department of Education, who will provide you with all of the information you need. Best of luck with your teaching journey, and may you find it as rewarding as I, and many other teachers, do. Phil Young Class teacher & computing coordinator Halterworth Community Primary School 2
