Summary
As a dynamic educator I have a proven track record throughout a number of educational settings, adept in fostering inclusive learning environments and implementing effective classroom management strategies with a focus on wellbeing. Developing curriculum aligned with both Australian & British National Curriculum Standards, I have been able to demonstrate adaptability across the board. With expertise in building strong partnerships, I always look to enhancing student engagement through connecting with all parties surrounding the child's growth. I then build on this by differentiated instruction both online and in the mainstream school setting where each individual feels valued and respected.
