Georgina joined Stepping Stones last year as a teacher of English and Drama and since then her role has developed to include PSHE/Citizenship and Expressive Arts. This combination of subjects enables her to deliver a creative curriculum that also integrates ICT, media and film studies. She believes that the multi-modal environment that young people experience compels learning experiences. Georgina is committed to providing a creative learning environment with a lively atmosphere and a culture of success where students feel they can achieve their best and, if necessary change habits of learning. She is now beginning to explore how the internet may be harnessed to facilitate virtual school on a global scale and she is enjoying this as an incredibly exciting challenge. Attracted to work at Stepping Stones because of its innovative learning environment, Georgina is enjoying being part of this and seeing evidence every day of how our students with hemiplegia are flourishing in response to an education that is supportive and caring, and appropriate and relevant to their individual needs. Georgina pursues an avid interest in the visual arts and enjoys visits to galleries and the cinema, as well as to the theatre and concerts. Films and film making are her passion and one day she wants to write and direct a feature film. She enjoys spending time with her family most of all and since they are all sports fanatics much of her time is spent on the side of a pitch, although she does find time to use her Concept 2 rowing machine to keep fit. Along with her husband, two children, three cats and six gold fish, Georgina also has a collection of theatrical costumes and she imagines that in her retirement she will design and make more! |
