I have build capacity in schools with assessment and evaluation policies such as Growing Success and Creating Pathways to Success. I have also help support student confidence and proficiency as a Formateur for the DELF examinations by training teachers in Common European Framework of Reference and coaching them to embed these principles in their instructional practice. I see myself as a reflective person who often is able to consider the bigger purpose in new initiatives and will help colleagues understand how evolving their practise will engage students in learning.I enjoy the mentoring aspects of being an educator, both to students and to colleagues and how we all can interact within a learning community.In the classroom, I believe that students should be exposed to authentic situations to build their confidence to be able to use language in a variety of situations. I also believe that Cultural Appreciation is important for a learner in the 21st Century, and to facilitate this, I believe that students should be given the opportunity to travel as part of their education.
