To me, Einstein was wrong. Education inspires, enlightens and drives children to prosper and be the best they can be and as an […]

Comments Off on Making a Difference
Throughout my life I’ve probably been asked about a thousand times “What do you want to be when you’re older?” And although my answer to that question has often changed, I’ve always, without a doubt, found my way back to the same answer: “I want to be a teacher.” I want to be a teacher […]

Comments Off on Teaching: Breaking the stigma
Throughout my time in education, I have always noticed a distinct lack of male role models. In my early years my father was my idol; everything he did seemed amazing to me. Whether it was his vast music collection or his suits and ties he wore to work I saw my Dad as the coolest […]
