Supply Teacher

01.2024 - Current
- My supply work mainly covers Primary Schools and Secondary Science.
- It is important to quickly understand the ethos and workings of each school and to be able to adapt to the students in the classroom.
- I am able to build productive working relationships with students and differentiate delivery of a lesson plan as required, either to provide additional challenge so that high expectations can be maintained or to identify gaps and misconceptions which are proving to be barriers inhibiting success.

South Craven School
Cross Hills
09.2019 - 12.2023
- As the Assistant Head of Learning Support, I am responsible for monitoring student progress through tailored interventions, using student feedback and assessment data to identify and then implement changes to make the provisions more effective.
- My role extends to working closely with students who have experienced periods of absence, devising strategies to help them to reintegrate into the school environment with the eventual goal of them being able to access and participate in all of their classes.
- These comprehensive plans not only facilitate academic progress but also contribute to their overall well-being and safety within the school.
- I actively engage in communication with external agencies and parents.
- This collaboration ensures the holistic support and progress of our students.
- This multifaceted approach allows me to foster an environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive academically and personally.
- As a Science Teacher, I can effectively deliver the curriculum by planning engaging lessons which are sufficiently differentiated for individual student needs.
- I aim to foster a love of learning and enquiry and empower the students with tools they can use to achieve student driven success.
