Professional Statement: I am an imaginative and energetic educator who fosters effective relationships, identifies learning needs, nurtures personal interests, and creates positive learning environments. In my classroom I adopt the principles of inquiry-based learning and apply a constructivist approach, to support and encourage each individual child's learning journey. To create active, informed citizens, I believe children must be actively engaged in authentic learning experiences that are relevant, meaningful, and meaningful to their lives in today's rapidly changing world. I get great satisfaction from observing and supporting students to succeed, so differentiation of learning is also a key feature of my classroom programme. I strive to create and maintain a school environment where children not only feel safe and secure, but where they also recognize that learning is inclusive, engaging and exciting. Through my teaching practices, I strive to develop an excellent relationship with all students, teachers and parents. I motivate and engage students in their learning, using a range of teaching strategies. These include the use of technologies such as "Moodle", "Learn 2 Teach", "Desire to Learn", interactive whiteboards and other digital equipment. With strong IT skills, I regularly implement these technologies throughout the curriculum. Learning tasks are structured to meet individual learning needs, the diversity of student backgrounds and to optimize effective learning time.

As part of my previous practice, I have used a range of teaching strategies that incorporate the use of information technology (ICT). These include the use of technologies such as "Moodle", "Learn 2 Teach", "Desire 2 Learn", interactive whiteboards, tablets and other digital equipment. Having strong IT skills, I successfully implement these technologies across the curriculum to enable, support and accelerate deeper learning in literacy and numeracy. During a seventh-grade technology lesson on reliable and unreliable sources, students were involved in a whole-class discussion about different sources and their properties. I was able to incorporate elements of ICT into the lesson, using the visualizer, interactive whiteboard and the internet to extend learning in a fun, flexible and engaging way.
