GCSE Lecturer
I have worked for Bedford College for seven
years and I still love what I teach! My main subjects are maths,
psychology, statistics and PE, and whilst they are quite diverse, I
find them incredibly interesting, making teaching them so much
easier.
I am proud of many things that I have achieved
at the College but probably the most rewarding thing is knowing
that I have had a direct impact on students who may well have
dropped out of education without an intervention from my team and
I. I have also won a joint research fellowship from LSIS and the
IfL, where we produced a report on the effect of social learning
environments have on behaviour and achievement.
The College has supported me in studying a
masters in mathematics education, focussing on the role creativity
has in the mathematics classroom, and I am also a course manager.
However for me, crucially, the most important thing remains
teaching and learning within the classroom.
