So...to introduce me. Well. I'm a Year 6 teacher at Rowandale Primary in Manurewa. We are Decile 1, and a bunch of awesomeness. I have been teaching for a number of years and absolutely adore helping children build on their love of learning. I am teaching our senior future-focused classroom and I am also in charge of sport (although why they chose me for that I have no idea!)
Outside of school I have a love of reading, sewing, technology, cooking and travel.
My teaching philosophy:
I
love the work I do! Not a day goes by when I am not challenged,
surprised, enlightened, or delighted. The most important aspects of the school
environment for me are relationships; with students;
with colleagues; with families; with our community.
I
love getting beside a student and really getting to know them; what makes them
happy; what makes them angry or frustrated; and what makes them excited.
Then I can truly make a difference.
I
value my students and acknowledge all
they bring to the classroom. I accept
them without judgement.
I
believe in making them see their potential and find excitement in all that they do.
I believe in experimentation, mistakes, exploration, noise and creativity.
I am an educator because I
want to change the world for the children I teach. Teaching has been a calling for me since I
was a small child. I know through
education I can have an impact on children’s lives. I want the children I teach to understand the
world they will be growing up in, and I want to prepare them for a world that
is so going to be so different to my own.
I want children to be problem solvers, confident, technology literate
and word literate beings who find delight in the world around them. I try to achieve this in any way I can.
