Dear Ms. Nashman- Smith
Re: Application for the post of Secondary School Physical Education Teacher
I wish to apply for the post of Secondary Physical Education teacher at
your esteemed institution. At present, I am working as a supply teacher for
Vision for Education and Coba Education Teaching agencies as a supply
teacher in Bradford and Leeds area.
I was teaching at Bedford Academy, Bedford as Teacher of Physical education
from April 2007 till Dec 2011 During my teaching career, I have had the
opportunity to teach at the variety of schools with differing abilities.
My Physical Education Teaching experience has ranged from Yr 7 to Yr 13. I
have also had the good fortune to teach GCSE and A level lessons, both
theory and practical. The time I spent teaching PE has revolved largely
around Boys games and co-educational indoor sports. I have drawn upon my
own experience within many sports as the basis for the programme
development, although I have taken Hockey, Basketball, Badminton and Rugby
coaching awards.
Hockey is one of my main areas of interest as its structure enables a wide
range of activities to feed from it. Its merits as a co-educational game,
enables the sport to be played through all key stages as well as developing
team work, communication and co-operation.
I encourage sport for all and understanding approach within all my lessons
as I believe that an understanding of a skill is far better than the
ability to perform the skill and not understand it. The development of
pupils understanding should not only be limited to the topic but also other
Physical factors, especially the relationship to the individuals health,
Health Related Fitness (HRF) is incorporated within my Physical Education
curriculum either as an individual mode or integrated.
One particular area that attracted myself to this post was the extensive
extra-curricular activities that the department is striving to offer. The
success at high level shows a desire to enable students to participate in a
wide range of sports both in and out of lesson time. I have taken a keen
interest and been involved in many extra curricular activities throughout
all my teaching placements.
I coached, ran and officiated for Football, Hockey, and Basketball teams
through out the school. I also help set-up and run a circuit training
session for all students taking GCSE physical education with the view to
increase their cardiovascular and flexibility abilities.
I believe that by establishing a curriculum that encompasses components of
co-operation, communication, teamwork, respect understanding and self
belief, the development of a student as individual as member of today's
society can be achieved. I believe that through the provision of a well-
structured and dynamic curriculum, all students needs can be addressed,
hence developing a positive identity for both the individual and the
school. With today's social and cultural diversity, it is important that
all children grow-up in a knowledgeable environment, free of prejudice and
full of understanding.
For students to effectively learn their working environment must be
suitably managed regardless of subject or activity. An individual students
needs must always be considered irrespective of gender, class, ethnicity,
religion, or physical ability. It is my belief that all students have the
right to a first class education, and as such differences of any kind are
irrespective.
ICT is an area commonly overlooked within Physical Education, even though
it creates an opportunity for staff to utilise new and clearer information
during their lessons. I have developed various tasks cards, coaching prompt
sheets and module booklets for students during my teaching experiences. I
have used video cameras before in both topics to enable students to assess
their own performance, and thus refine any movement patterns or technical
problems they possess. The recording of student also allows a more detailed
individual assessment to be carried out, if a group routine or phrases has
been used.
I see my self as a very good team member who is not afraid of
responsibility. In fact I thrive upon it. I have had the opportunities
within education and my social life to develop my organisational and
management skills.
The character I developed during my time as a player and captain of the
university team enabled me to relate the form tutor role. I was able to
take this knowledge by shadowing a tutor in my first experience, and
finally taking the role within my teaching experience, all of it in on a
split basis. I see the form tutor as an essential part of the make-up of
any educational establishment. It is their job to ensure that all students
are happy in their environment and progressing both as an individual and a
member of a wider society.
From the past eight years I have been involved in coaching various hockey
teams. I was also employed to coach the 1st eleven and 2nd eleven hockey
team at Dame Alice Harpur school on part time basis from September 2008 -
July 2010.
I consider myself to be a keen, enthusiastic and committed individual who
is striving to promote Physical Education into the twenty-first century.
Finally I would like to thank you the time in considering this application,
and would welcome an opportunity to further discuss this statement with
you.
Yours truly,
Mohammad Azhar Khan
