Curriculum vitae
CURRICULUM VITAE "Pastoral care is not the destination but the nourishment of the learning journey" (Mann, 2006) I believe that education is a life passage for each child and I find it a great honour to nourish their learning journey and overall care. My enthusiasm for teaching and learning developed seventeen years ago, when I volunteered at my daughter’s Playgroup in the Netherlands. I strive to promote academic as well as social successes for all students. As a leader, I find it important to constantly reflect on my practices and to listen to stakeholders. Furthermore, working in various International school settings has taught me to be open-minded towards the ideas, values and cultural context of others. |
