Cashmere High School, CHRISTCHURCH:
Teacher of English.
Permanent position.
July 2003 - January 2005.
Position:
Working in a High School and teaching the subject of English is an incredibly exhilarating and fulfilling occupation. I am passionate about the work we do as teachers and I am in love with language, communication and literature.
I enjoy working in a collaborative environment with students, parents and other teachers. I am positive about the benefits and value of the New Zealand curriculum framework and NCEA.
I strive for excellence as a teacher. The results of this are becoming apparent in the responses from students, the measurable development in their learning, and the evaluation of my peers.

| I have a particular interest in the use of new technology in teaching. I believe there are enormous benefits to be gained from the recruitment of modern methods of information and communication mangement in the ordinary class environment. When fluent with technology and modern communication we can inspire and engage our students tremendously by getting them involved in the learning process like never before - and we can reduce our own workload in the process! |
