Creative Media specialist. I have a friendly and relaxed teaching style that engages the learner and treats them as equal in the learning process. I use a range of teaching styles contingent to the needs of the student, including humanist and emancipatory pedagogical styles, and I aim to provide diverse and engaging lessons that ensure students to improve their confidence and be able to thrive both academically and vocationally. As an experienced teacher I am to provide learning to allow students to reach and exceed their potential whilst developing personal and employability skills. I have excellent subject knowledge in a range of subjects, I employ effective targets reviewing learning through formative and summative assessments in order to help students to make progress and succeed in their exams. I help students to take ownership over their education and identify areas for developments so that I can apply effective interventions. I am very patient, enthusiastic and empower my students to have personal autonomy over their learning. This is particularly important in creative subjects like media as students will achieve higher grades if they can create original media products. I love to engage students through building on their own interest areas and believe this is crucial in order to create links between the curriculum and their own experiences of modern media. I believe in making lessons cross-curricular to drive home how the different subjects in school are connected and how they have relevance to our lives i.e., history, psychology, art, philosophy and maths etc. For example, creative media has the flexibility to include multiple topics so students can draw from other subjects and interest areas in their project work. For example, there are often opportunities to link the set English texts to creative media work and to improve aspects of literacy in the written work. I love helping people to learn and making it more fun and relevant. I enjoy helping people to express themselves and find ways to improve their abilities and develop their confidence. I believe that learning should be fun, relaxed and relevant and that we can achieve excellence without it becoming too stressful. I aim to make lessons interactive and engaging, while . I use exam board resources, animations, apps, and video clips to engage students. I believe in helping students stay on top of their homework and coursework.
