Christina has over 25 years’ experience as a science teacher and leader in prominent schools and is a sought-after trainer with excellent impact. She offers bespoke training in three distinct areas of school life: science, middle leadership and school partnerships. Training or mentoring packages across a year are possible.
Science Department
All workshops are tailored to the school’s individual needs and timeframes (sometimes following an audit) – for whole teams, smaller groups or 1:1. These are just a few of the workshops delivered recently:
- Teaching for Mastery in Science
- Literacy and numeracy in science
- Gender Balance
- Enrichment beyond the curriculum
- Subject Enhancement in physics (up to A level/IB
Middle leaders
Support for Heads of Department and other middle leaders is offered through a series of sessions, a whole day or a single event. Mentoring new or aspiring middle leaders is also an option.
Courses run recently include:
- Inspiring middle leaders
- Effective departmental meetings
- Developing self and staff
- Growing a positive mindset
- Inspiring teamwork
Recommendations
Christina’s passion for, knowledge about, and commitment to Physics teaching is evident to anyone who has seen her at work. Watching her with adults delivering a professional development session, I could see how fortunate her young students must have been to have had her as their teacher. We are lucky to have her continue to be involved in Physics education.
Your insightful inputs and questions provided me not only with an excellent chance for reflection about the position of head of department and its responsibilities, but also gave me a structured, ambitious and realistic outlook to what the department and our students’ learning can aim to become in short, medium and long-term.
