My name is Becky Annetts and have been teaching for 20 years (it sounds a long time when you put it down on paper!). I began my teaching career in a primary school in Kettering and was lucky to have the experience of teaching across several year groups and supporting children with a variety of different special educational needs. The time came for a new challenge and Oakley Vale Primary School was about to open...
My name is Dawn Longhurst, a current Year 4 teacher at Beanfield Primary School. Like many of us, I am someone who loves to learn and have become increasingly more fascinated with the science behind how we learn. It was for this reason that when I saw the opportunity to apply for Ambition Institute’s Masters Degree in Expert Teaching, with the support from my school and the Trust, I decided to apply. Fast forward two years later and I have just attended my graduation ceremony, passing with merit. I struggled to pinpoint what I wanted to write about in this blog, having learnt so much, where did I start?! I then remembered at the end of any conference or reading I did, I was always asked the same question – ‘What were your key takeaways?’ So, I intend to challenge myself here to share just a few of my key learning points from each of the six modules…here goes!
