A living record of my practice
Each academic year has its own page: the context, the goals I set, what I did, the impact, my professional learning and a reflection that shapes the next year. Evidence is linked to the UK Teachers’ Standards.
The current year: completing the PGCE with an action research study on scaffolding extended writing in Grade 9 Chemistry.
Joining King’s and beginning a University of Sunderland PGCE: refining my classroom practice through supervised teaching and practitioner research.
Three years in senior academic leadership: designing and running the college’s research programme while teaching AP and A Level sciences.
Two years leading biology at a British boarding school, with top A Level results, and completing my Master of Education with a year-long study of STEM clubs.
My first department leadership role: leading six science teachers, standardising IB Diploma science and developing newly qualified colleagues.
Broadening into the IB Diploma Programme: teaching DP Chemistry, coordinating the Group 4 Project and supervising Extended Essays.
My first year in full-time teaching after five years in laboratory research: learning to turn scientific expertise into teaching that works for 14- to 16-year-olds.
