My Teaching Philosophy
I’m a strong believer that what we do as a profession needs to be based on what the research tells us works best. I have an interest in how metacognition can be used in the classroom and the most effective methods to improve how much students retain from lessons.

Teaching style
I place an emphasis on student-centered learning, using a variety of techniques. I encourage a growth mindset in my students, and use positive reinforcement. During lessons I like to use a range of metacognitive activities to help students make connections between separate bits of content.
Smiling, being authentic, and having fun in the classroom is what lights me up.
