Celebrating Your Success - Trainee of the Week Andrea Ellis (computer Science trainee)
Andrea has been nominated by his Link Tutor James Steingold, please see below,
for the organisation of his portfolio and also his scaffolding and questioning of lower ability pupils in his lesson was really strong! - Well done.
Thank you Mentors
'Claire Andrews has been very helpful and a pleasure to work alongside during stage 2 of my training. She has been easy to get along with and not put me under any stress since day one. One of the main reasons is due to freedom I am given with lessons. She trusts me to teach my way and trusts me with a year 11 GCSE class. This has been really beneficial for me and going forward I feel comfortable with KS4 and 5 because of this.
