Mrs A Twiby - Staff Governor
I am excited about the opportunity to leverage my ITT expertise and teaching experience to contribute to the success of the governance at Hungerhill School.
With over seven years of experience in delivering teacher training to a diverse range of individuals, including ITTs, ECTs and established teachers through whole trust CPD programmes, I have honed my skills in facilitating impactful and engaging learning experiences. My passion for supporting the growth and development of teachers, coupled with my in-depth knowledge of research based pedagogical practices and instructional strategies, enables me to create dynamic and enriching training sessions that empower teachers to excel in their roles.
My commitment to improving standards in education is most rewarded through the work I do within my role of ITT lead; I have a deep understanding of the DFE requirements for curriculum development and research-based practice within the teacher training framework, allowing me to design training programmes that align with current educational standards and best practices. Additionally, as a reflective practitioner, I continuously evaluate and improve my training methods to meet the evolving needs of trainee teachers and enhance the overall learning experience. Watching trainee teachers thrive, progress and overcome challenges throughout their ITT year gives me faith that the teaching profession will continue to evolve in a dynamic and organic way.
I have proven impact from the programmes I have written and delivered; 90% (on average) of trainees have passed the course and were able to competently find employment to complete their ECT year. Ofsted also praised the quality of the provision I provide in a recent inspection of the Sheffield SCITT.
Last year, I was able to contribute to the wider community through the KS4 English school improvement training I delivered at the Education Exchange. Through this I was able to, not only help English teachers better the understand the requirements of the GCSE examinations, but to also help facilitate their independence in creating a robust and well purposed curriculum for KS4 students.
Having worked in a department that attains some of the best English results in Doncaster, and my own results reflecting some of the best in the school, I believe that I can bring valuable insight to the governing body.
