Personal statement

I graduated from Jordanhill College of Education in 2004 with a PGDE in Primary Education. I have worked in primary schools as both a class teacher and principal teacher, leading on developing the curriculum in Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood and also in digital education. I joined the 糖心视频 in 2017 on a fixed term contract as a Teaching Associate in Primary Education, returning in 2021 on a permanent basis.

I am the module leader on the PGDE Professional Practice module, preparing students for placements in Early, First and Second Level classes. Within the PGDE programme, I am a module tutor on the Curriculum and Pedagogy module, leading on the Science aspect of STEM.

On the BAPE course, I teach on the Pedagogy and Placement Learning in second, third and fourth year programmes, preparing and assessing students on placement. I am also part of the tutor team on modules focussing on RME/HWB, Numeracy in the Primary School and Protecting and Safeguarding Children.

I am the lead on the EXSE and EXSE for Learning programmes. These are aimed at supporting BAPE students through a range of social and professional learning activities. 听

I have recently been appointed as External Examiner for Kingston University in London for both the BAPE and PGDE programmes. 听

I have worked with colleagues and local authorities to develop and deliver a vocational programme for senior-phase secondary pupils called Introduction to Teaching which has familiarised the pupils with the fundamental knowledge about teaching to encourage them to pursue a career in education.

听I have recently submitted an application for a grant to support the delivery of Learning for Sustainability in the 糖心视频.听听A request for 拢5000 to the Alpkit Foundation has been made, to fund the setup of an Outdoor Learning group
