• Class Teacher and Primary Art Coordinator

  • Sep 2012 - Aug 2019

  As a class teacher I designed schemes of work and planned, prepared and delivered outstanding lessons across the curriculum. Every lesson had to incorporate differentiation, provision for SEND and Gifted and Talented students, and SMSC into lesson plans, and I used a wide range of IT tools to support teaching and learning. Each child had to be assessed using formative and summative assessment. Within the classroom I set high behaviour expectations, rewarding positive behaviour and behaviour that exemplified the Core Values. I inspired children to be curious, and to find joy in their learning journey whilst developing a growth mindset, and a love of our planet together with an awareness and concern for the problems we are facing. I worked as a team with other teachers and colleagues throughout the school, and implemented the school directives, policies, and development plan.From 2015 until 2019 I was also the Primary Art Coordinator, responsible for the successful teaching of Art, aligned with the UK directives and Kings school policy. I identified improvement opportunities and promoted art through Assemblies, Clubs, and Competitions. I liaised with teachers regarding lesson planning, materials requirements, and subject knowledge and carried out lesson observations and learning walks to ensure the highest quality of Art teaching and learning Show less
