Giavanna Ferreira is a primary school teacher, currently Early Years Lead at Our Lady of Lourdes RC Primary School. Her passion for teaching and working with children are evident as soon as she starts talking and she is a shining example of how passionate great teachers are every day in their work with children.
During our conversation we discussed ...
- The importance of embracing the opportunity to learn new skills and teaching approaches
- How Post-it notes improved her organisational skills
- The value of taking the time to develop great relationships with other staff members and trusting their advice when they gave it
- The joy of seeing children make dramatic progress and how this can happen when children feel really comfortable with the teacher
- How essential it is to know when enough is enough and it is time to switch off from school
- What to do when the fire alarm goes off and you have a child who is at school for his first day sitting in a wheelchair with a broken leg!
- Using your teaching skills to start a YouTube channel
- Realising that even the most experienced teachers are not brilliant every day
