In the following pages you will see all the evidence you will need to verify that the strong terms by which I describe myself are no hyperbole.
You will also discover that my drive for personal excellence spans the breadth of the personal, physical, academic and professional.
What you will have to meet me in person to discover is my enthusiasm and authenticity. I really am a man who lives life with verve.
PROFESSIONAL STATEMENT:
I am passionate about teaching and learning. I have a very strong belief in the powerful influence a good teacher can have on the human development of a teenager. I teach from a standpoint of honesty, determination, collaboration, self-respect and self-reflexivity. I am determined to act as a strong role model, and fundamentally believe in the necessity that I demonstrate in my own actions what I expect from others.
It is essential in the 21st Century that educators are able to deftly navigate the path between the richness of our past and the panoply of possibilities for the future. In the classroom I teach with respect for our establishment, yet present challenges to students to explore the relationship between what they are learning now and their own future - and consider the implications of this.
The pedagogical foundations of the subjects English and Drama are wonderful vehicles that support the achievement of this aim. The freedom to make intertextual links, consider author and reader position and recruit new modes of creating meaning and reason allows us to use texts as canonical as Hamlet to prepare a student for something as utterly modern as the rigours of self-exposition via the internet.
“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
