Graduation was fun!

A great day and it completed the achievement!


Since Feb 2013 Casual Relief Teaching

I have taught at a range of schools through Tradewind Recruitment.

Science 7 to 12
Mathematics 7 to 11
General teaching 4 to 8

What does a CRT need...apart from better notes left by the teacher?

A spirit of adventure and being quick to assess and come up with a teaching method to make your "new" class work :-)
