I am a passionate and reflective primary school teacher with 3.5 years of classroom experience across New Zealand and Victoria. I have a proven ability to deliver inclusive and engaging learning programs underpinned by strong curriculum knowledge and high-impact teaching strategies. My practice is shaped by a deep understanding of both the New Zealand and Victorian curricula, enriched by experience in diverse school communities and supported by collaborative planning frameworks. My teaching draws on evidence-based approaches including the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR), GANAG lesson structure, and Sounds-Write phonics. I tailor instruction to meet individual needs using data from IEPs, formative assessments, and tools like PAT and Essential Assessment. I work closely with students, families, and colleagues to build strong, trusting relationships that foster student wellbeing, voice, and academic growth.
