Over several years, I have led high-quality learning experiences across Education courses SCQF levels 1–8, engaging diverse learners, including High School/Senior Phase pupils, mature learners, and individuals at various life stages. My work reflects a commitment to teaching excellence, mentorship & educational innovation.I regularly interview students & have previously mentored new staff, introducing them to new systems & facilitating interactive sessions as well as arrange sessions provided by trained professionals, such as Bookbug (November 2018–present). I maintain strong links with the SQA, addressing queries, sharing best practices, & contributing to verification processes & events (December 2018–present). Notably, I presented written assessments to the SQA panel in person & via Teams, collaborated on revisions, & supported the accreditation of work, significantly shaping the new, national NC Childhood Practice qualification (June 2020–present).To enhance learner engagement, I contributed to the start-up of an outdoor classroom, enabling students to apply their skills in practical settings during placements (September 2020–present). I engage in reflective practice discussions with my line manager, supporting GTCS Professional Update requirements and alignment with Professional Lecturing Standards (November 2022).As part of my master’s dissertation, I presented research on AI to Childcare and Healthcare teams, forming an AI working group and laying groundwork for future policy development (August 2023). I also led workshops on “Demystifying Artificial Intelligence” at college-wide staff events, fostering understanding of AI in teaching and learning (August 2024). Though absent due to illness at a subsequent event, I was honoured to be invited again (November 2024).These efforts highlight my dedication to enhancing education through innovation, professional development, and collaborative contributions to national qualifications and institutional growth.
