Gemma Cowan

I am a passionate, reliable and highly reflective practitioner who is always open to a challenge. I am committed to the students I am responsible for and aim to make a difference to those in my care. I see myself as a facilitator, encouraging all students to become successful lifelong learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens. I achieve this by creating a positive, stimulating and welcoming ethos in my classroom, responding to learner’s needs and preferred learning styles by using the following teaching methodologies and strategies:

• Interdisciplinary teaching/cross-curricular approach
• Outdoor Learning
• Assessment for Learning
• Responsive planning
• Moderation
• Differentiated tasks
• Co-operative Learning
• Positive Behaviour Reinforcement
• Active Learning
• Pupil ownership
• Skills development
