My Experience
Students who are expected to succeed are more likely to succeed.
Quality education doesn’t just happen. It is the result of teachers and leaders who are motivated and passionate about the faces in front of them. This often means reflecting on what we currently know and do and identifying next steps to create improvement to ensure each child is capable of achieving their potential.
As a leader, teacher and facilitator, it is my job to develop and foster this amongst those I work with and alongside.
As an educator I am passionate about all students achieving and am motivated to support kaiako to feel empowered to deliver and facilitate learning that students can authentically connect to.
