‘Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.’ B. Franklin

Here Franklin outlines a concept to which I wholeheartedly subscribe. Involving learners in the learning process fosters independence, ownership and a sense of responsibility for the outcomes of that process. If we combine this concept with a skills focused curriculum, authentic learning experiences and an environment that promotes creativity, we create an approach to learning and teaching that empowers students and enables them to develop skills that they can apply within any context and to any challenge that the 21st century might pose. I have the right blend of experience, creativity and drive to offer your students an experience that is challenging, engaging and thought provoking, as well as being linked to academic success.
