Teacher Education

I am fascinated by how we learn. A varied teaching career has provided many opportunities to think about this. I continue to puzzle over the possibilities of how we can make it easier for children.

Biography

I am fascinated by how we learn. Why is it sometimes easy and at other times difficult? A varied teaching career, most recently as a head, has provided many opportunities to consider this. I enjoy working to explore effective strategies for teaching, so children find learning exciting, realise they are good at it and acquire the skills and motivation to continue to learn throughout their life.
