Who am I?
I have been teaching for 24 years of which 18 years have been in international schools. My experiences have predominantly been in IB world schools. I have held a variety of positions of responsibility over the years but am currently working at an international school in England as the head of the department for physical & health education. I am also an MYP workshop leader, MYP BQC Reviewer and on the MYP PHE Review team.
I am of Mauritian descent but grew up in England. I attended universities in Bangor, Wales and Roehampton, London and have a B.Ed in physical and adventure education and an M.A. in Sport and Culture.
I am a keen martial artist having studied Judo, karate and taekwondo. I am a black belt, in Taekwondo and a brown belt in Seki Juku Karate. I enjoy playing, coaching and watching soccer and am a life long Tottenham Hotspur fan. I love skiing and also enjoy indoor and outdoor rock climbing.
Playing around with websites and online learning platforms have always intrigued me. I have been involved in this side of things whilst teaching and will always want to whilst I work in schools.
I use Twitter and Facebook groups to collaborate with people internationally plus occasionally blog ('Curriculum Matters'). I am loving connecting with people and discovering new ways of learning. I am a life long learner and believe there is something we can learn every day.
I run two Facebook groups. One of which is dedicated to discussing and sharing resources for MYP Physical and health education. The other group I started in June 2020 as a place for International Teachers of Colour to discuss and share their experiences as well as a place where we can begin to take action and push for change. For both of these groups, I have a dedicated website. Each website collates information from the groups and shares ideas away from social media.
I have also, this year, started to delve into the world of hosting and running webinars and podcasts. The next step in my continuous path of learning.
