As part of the Inclusion team I had many responsibilities. My ability to be flexible when implementing lessons is of most importance, in conjunction with structuring schemes of work to creating lesson plans. The ability to be creative and innovative when delivering knowledge is what I enjoy most when teaching. Understanding the best fit for all types of learners is in itself a challenge; however, I embrace the opportunity to create a thriving, comfortable and enjoyable environment in my classroom.
