Professional Learning

Back to Educator and Leader landing page

While I have engaged in many PD opportunities over the years, one of the most challenging and rewarding has been working towards completing my Master of Science in Multidisciplinary Studies from SUNY Buffalo State University, Buffalo, New York over the last two years. As part of this programme, I have completed a variety of courses with a focus on leadership, creativity, and holistic education.

I have also been involved in running PD for staff both within my own school context and beyond.
