Summary
I have a wealth of experience teaching for many years from Year 2 - Year 4. I am adept in classroom management and fostering student engagement. I promote a growth mindset to enhance learning and ensure that this underpins my practice. Over the many years of teaching I have developed excellent relationships with children, parents and colleagues. It is always a joy to be visited by former students and learn about their successes. I am skilled in differentiated lesson planning and I always look for new ways to engage all students.
