Vision for Teacher and Learning

I have the
enthusiasm and
motivation to help
all students
achieve their full
potential using a
variety of
approaches.
I believe I hold the
values and
passion to be a
valuable Teacher
within your school
community.
Sarah Nolan

I am a vivacious person who believes that all students

deserve an equal opportunity to learn to the best of their
abilities in a productive and supportive learning
environment. My commitment to all students is to
provide a safe, interactive and engaging classroom where
students are encouraged to take risks and be active
participants in constructing their own learning.
I believe in providing a rich learning environment through
the use of open ended questioning and providing each
student I work with the support they need.

Work Ethics/Experience
I have been fortunate to have worked across all levels of
primary school and with a range of students with different
needs. I am a team player and thrive on new
advancements in technology and the ever changing
curriculum. I believe it is imperative for every child to
experience success in the classroom, and my teaching
methods aim to provide this.
I enjoy challenges and strive to be the best teacher I can
be. I am hardworking, dedicated and bring years of
experience from the classroom. I also convey personal
experiences of my own, my children have progressed
through the primary schooling system, all with varying
learning styles.
