Summary

As an energetic and enthusiastic junior school teacher, I pride myself on creating a welcoming classroom environment that fosters genuine engagement and enjoyment of learning. Imperative to this is forming meaningful relationships with each student as an individual learner. I strive to facilitate each learners journey in a supportive environment where taking risks is encouraged and every voice is valued.

As a learner myself, I enjoy opportunities to engage in new pedagogies as well as constantly updating my practice through reflection. I enjoy working co-operatively with other members of staff and learning from respective colleagues.
