critical thinking skills and experience based teaching.

My teaching experience has equipped me with the ability to teach learners from the age of 6 to 23 years.

My classroom management skills are very good. Time management is crucial to this area. Learners are fully occupied from the start to the end of the period. My sense of humor helps to break the tension and create a loving bond with my learners.

List three unique points about you as a teacher:

I am an excellent record keeper.

My use of across the curriculum technology is very good. My ability to design and produce media resources has earned me the respect of my colleagues. List your future teaching goals:

I would like to share my skills and ideas with my colleagues through workshops and Special resources. My focus will be addressing special needs learners in a mainstream, inclusive environment. I intend to produce a series of teaching resources that display a system of scaffolding that will break up the lesson into a range of activities moving from very simple to abstract, providing full instructions for teachers and learners.
