As a committed, dynamic and reflective practitioner my aim is to provide an outstanding education for all students that will empower them to leave school as well-rounded individuals who are; intellectually curious, self-motivated and enthusiastic about their own studies. I am passionate about Teaching and Learning and ensure that I incorporate current strategies into the planning and delivery of my lessons, which have been consistently graded as outstanding. CPD has been vitally important to my development as an outstanding practitioner and I have been particularly drawn to share my own successful strategies with others. For example, I have delivered a training session for aspiring teachers at Durham SCITT on Teaching and Learning strategies. Although my specialism is History, I have demonstrated my adaptability by teaching across the humanities including English, Literacy and Religious Education.
