Year 6 Class Teacher

• Aug 2019 - Jul 2022

Following my tenure at GFS, I elected to move back to classroom teaching to enhance my teaching pedagogy and develop a readiness for future leadership opportunities. In the previous two years, I have been fortunate enough to increase my knowledge of Upper Key stage 2 by working as a Year 6 Class Teacher. This role has improved my classroom teaching from a rating of very good to outstanding following lesson observations. Additionally, this role has allowed me to be part of a much smaller team, providing me with more opportunities to engage in all areas of planning and assessment. During my second year, I have been involved in an assessment working party to discuss strategies and procedures and new ways to implement assessment across the school. Furthermore, I have made use of many opportunities to develop my skills with Apple (Apple Teacher) and also became a Seesaw Ambassador. These vocational aptitudes have equipped me to implement high-quality online sessions for a class that was heavily split between class teaching and home learning. Show less
