SHAKIRA FISHER

I am a highly skilled professional with a strong foundation in effective and creative writing, communication, and analytical approaches. Demonstrates exceptional attention to detail, teamwork, and responsibility. Proficient in technology use and committed to continuous professional development. Known for quick thinking, working effectively under pressure, and delivering excellent customer service. Proactive, punctual, and adept at time management with advanced pedagogy skills. Flexible and adaptive with a talent for developing creative lesson plans.

As a experienced Food Technology Teacher with a background of nutrition and passion for food I believe my teaching is underpinned by clear routines, explicit instruction and consistent use of assessment for learning. I plan structured lessons with clear objectives, regular checks for understanding and scaffolded support to meet diverse needs. Differentiation is embedded from the outset, particularly in practical lessons where clarity and organisation are essential for both safety and progress. I regularly reflect on my practice and use feedback to continually refine my teaching.

Behaviour management has been a key strength developed during my placements. By consistently applying whole school policies, setting clear expectations and maintaining a calm and fair approach, I minimise disruption and maximise learning time. I actively promote oracy, encouraging pupils to use subject-specific vocabulary and articulate their reasoning through a range of independent, paired and collaborative activities.
