November 29, 2013 | This week I continued to have some incredible experiences with the children in my class, along with some of the children from other classes. I got to see some really interesting and innovative teaching techniques that I will be using when I teach a small group next week. One of these techniques is with teaching […]

November 22, 2013 | This week I have started in the classroom I will be based in for the rest of the term. This is a class full of lively 5 year-olds, most of whom have been in school for quite some time. It has been so amazing getting to see the different teaching strategies and curriculum at this […]

November 18, 2013 | This first week at Torbay School has been such an incredible learning experience for me. I arrived early on Thursday morning, which gave me a few days to settle in and experience some amazing opportunities. My first day here I met my immediate host-family, which consists of Vanessa, a hilarious teacher with some incredible baking […]

August 28, 2013 | This week I said farewell to everyone at the museum. I was able to talk to Marlena Cannon, who also served as my mentor at the museum, about her previous experiences such as her education and amount of internships. Before she got her Master’s in Museum Studies, she did a certificate program in London. I […]
