Micheal Johnson

I am a highly professional educator, who is prepared for the demands of teaching in the middle years, especially in the curriculum area of English. I demonstrate expertise in curriculum design, as required by Rototuna's unique style of teaching and learning. I have ample practice, as a Hapu leader, when it comes to classroom and behavioural management, with focus on building connections and fostering student-centered learning. Collaboration and adaptability, has become a strength, as it is a vital element at Rototuna, ensuring effective teamwork and positive outcomes.

• ‘Words cannot express how much you have done for Eliana, nor how grateful I am she had you as her Teacher for Yr8. She is much more confident now and believes in herself. She now knows that she is capable of whatever she puts her mind to.’ (Parent 2014)
• “Thank you for everything you have done for me and my family. You went out of your way to make my brother have a happy year and help him through his struggles, with that you have also helped me deal with all of this. For all of this I am sure we cannot repay you but just know we are truly grateful for all you have done and will never forget you.” (Student, 2016)
