Experience: With 24 years teaching experience, 17 of them at a successful middle school, during which I have taught most subjects, but mainly English, I consider myself a strong, versatile and able teacher. My recent experience of supply and short term contracts in 25 secondary schools in the Worcester and West Midlands areas, has revealed my effective teaching in English, Social Studies and Humanities.
Ofsted inspectors have always rated my lessons in the good to outstanding range and classes taken by me in literacy and numeracy make above average progress in terms of their reading ages and National Curriculum levels.
• • My previous school had an excellent record of target setting strategies which I have participated in regularly throughout my time there. These allow focused targets to be made on an individual level which support and challenge students towards challenging learning outcomes. I believe that these are important for building students’ confidence and motivation.
I have the ability to plan a differentiated curriculum incorporating different teaching and learning styles.
I have a strong record for extra- curricular work and am especially keen to lead groups in Drama and Sport. These have led to students acting in West End Theatre and playing for the youth section of professional football teams - obviously these are rare, but they do show the standard I can train to and the level of commitment I am willing to put into the activities I lead.
• I have a consistently professional approach to students and fellow teachers in the workplace where I have forged strong working relationships and mentored new teachers informally.


My particular strengths include:

1). Art- I work part time as a professional artist , displaying my work in galleries in Worcestershire and the West Midlands. I also work on a commission basis, producing animal and people portraits. I taught Art in all year groups while at Comberton Middle School, and have since taught it on a supply / cover basis .As a successful, practising artist I am well-equipped to maximize pupils performance.
2). Teaching Methods -I have a keen interest in accelerated learning, memory and study methods, writing a 56 page booklet (available) on ’Mnemonics and Their Application to Exams’, Published in 1996). Consequently I use these techniques, including memory songs, multi-sensory procedures and the V.A.K model, when appropriate in lessons. I use stimulating materials, which highlight the link between education and the adult world.
