Saoirse Gleeson

Perth,WA

Summary

My name is Saoirse Gleeson. I am twenty-six year's old and I have recently moved from Ireland to Perth. I am a qualified primary school teacher with extensive teaching experience. I am eager to learn and I am constantly engaging in professional development.. I have experience working with children of all ages at primary school level. Organized and dependable, I am successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. I am willing to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. I strive to foster a happy, safe, and caring learning environment. I have experience working as a co-teacher, engaging in various co-teaching models. I have continually
sought opportunities to work with children through volunteering. I have volunteered at Edmund rice
camps in Ireland. Along with that I volunteered in St. Johns parish each week, to help prepare children for the Sacrament of Holy Communion. I have a strong ability to differentiate instruction (UDL) and use effective assessment strategies, to ensure that each child can progress and reach his/her potential. I am an ambitious, diligent, enthusiastic, and reflective teacher.
