Summary
I am a passionate classroom teacher that creates an engaging and positive learning environment for all. Children feel a sense of belonging and experience high and realistic expectations for their learning and behaviour within classroom, team and school settings. Families are welcomed and the home/school partnership is strong.
I embrace the opportunity to work with others and learn from and alongside them. I'm committed to keeping up with current pedagogy that is practiced, and supporting and adhering to the vision and values system the school exhibits.
