TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching for 35 years in large and small rural schools ( I have been a teaching principal for the last 25 years in one teacher rural schools)

MY TEACHING STYLE

I use a combination of thinking curriculum (Blooms taxonomy) and an ICT / literature rich personalised learning approach, ideal for small schools.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Bachelor of Education

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I love sharing what I teach with other teachers. I don't charge too much for my work ( just pocket money) I don't want to make it difficult for people to access my ideas and use them with their children. I love reading classic literature to children and using it as the basis of my theme work. Technology, art, creative writing and personalised learning are important ingredients in my unit plans. I don't put anything on TPT unless I've road tested it myself.
