Summary
As a skilled Executive Teacher, I have expertise in strategic leadership, founded on carefully considered judgments and thoroughly executed decisions designed to achieve long-term goals. In a changing service environment, I adapt, learn and expand on previous knowledge in order to meet the needs of the school and Education Directorate. When planning and implementing multiple projects and tasks I use a risk management approach by anticipating problems, prioritising the higher risks, and undertaking corrective action where required. My experience in leading teams to deliver quality learning outcomes for students in a range of educational settings has given me a deep understanding of curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and reporting. As a highly skilled languages educator and advocate of plurilingualism I promote Languages programs across the Directorate.
