My Project

I strongly believe in the use of retrieval strategies to enhance long-term memory and recall. During my time at a school in the UK, I frequently utilized mini whiteboards to clear up misconceptions and evaluate students' progress. I found that this method was incredibly effective in promoting student engagement and facilitating learning. Interactive whiteboards will provide a way to help all students connect with the curriculum and allow me to asses understanding quickly.

I have requested puzzles and memory activities to support my enrichment club.

These activities will promote logical thinking and reasoning skills in a fun and engaging way. They will be used on a rotational basis, along with other materials, for small groups.

My students are special because they enjoy learning in diverse ways, they like to challenge themselves and think outside the box. My students have unique qualities and come from a range of backgrounds that make our school and classroom a rich learning environment.
