Teaching style

I aim to create classroom materials that are based on the application of diagnostic assessment to gauge student starting points, formative assessment to enhance student learning and gain feedback as a teacher, assessment as the student is learning to ensure learning is taking place and then finally evaluative assessment. My teaching style is inquiry based, student centered and attempts to focus on student engagement, especially through the use of 'hot topics' and technology.

My own education history

My qualifications include the following: Honors B.A. English/History; B.Ed. Intermediate/Secondary - English/History; Special Education Part 1; Honors Specialist: History; Literacy Department Head
