TEACHING EXPERIENCE

NZ Primary School Teacher, Year 7 & 8's, School Librarian

MY TEACHING STYLE

I believe in explicit teaching alongside giving students as much choice as possible. Students should feel ownership of their work and be able to follow their areas of interest. Where possible learning should be integrated across curriculum areas. This allows learning to be authentic and relevant and enables curriculum coverage.
