After almost 10 years as a high school teacher, I left the profession demoralised and I opened up a cafe! I learnt a lot about business, myself, leadership and communication, but also had a sense of unfinished business in education.
After some soul searching, I decided to re-join the profession, but this time as a primary teacher.
One of the major issues I had as a high school teacher was seeing so many disengaged students and I wanted to see if I could get to the heart of the problem.
Since then, I have fallen down a “rabbit hole” of research on the science of learning.
I am now committed to supporting as many educators as possible in becoming more evidence-informed so that they can apply it to their teaching.
Schools are complex places and rather than trying to figure everything out for ourselves, we need to share and collaborate.
Everything I know now, will not be the same as what I know tomorrow.
What I write in this blog, may not be right, but it is part of the process. Join me on this learning journey!
