Year-2

Message from the teacher

Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh. I am Ustadh Mohammed-Amin Quraishi, before starting my career as a teacher, I used to work as an ABA Therapist, specializing in ASD. My work was very rewarding as I was able to help vulnerable people; but as it is the case in many professions, I used to finish late and work during term breaks. As a result, I missed spending time with my children, who were growing up. I understood the importance of a father's active presence and participation in children's lives. So I decided to pursue a career in teaching. I recieved my teacher training from Essex Primary SCITT, an outstanding training provider, and as it is with a SCITT course, I recieved a lot of subject knowledge input and pedagogical input along with the school based experience. After completing my course I realised I had the opportunity to work in an islamic environment; i had missed a lot of Friday salahs during my training year. I found Assunnah Primary School, an up and cmoing school with good transpot links from my house, hence I applied to work here and I was selected to be an year 2 teacher. I am looking forward to working with Assunah teaching as well as learning from them, I am enjoying the islamic culture in the community.
