Margaret
has 18 years experience as a Headteacher. Throughout her years
in primary classrooms, Margaret feels she has been very fortunate
to work for inspirational leaders who held good teaching and
learning within meaningful contexts at the heart of their
work in schools. She became an inspirational leader herself,
spreading this vision firstly as headteacher of a primary
school in Cambuslang.
Her experience
was then enhanced by three years as a Curriculum Development
Officer in Glasgow. Margaret worked in and with many primary
schools, providing pastoral support and advice, and delivering
in-service in language and environmental studies. Margaret's
next move was to Arkleston Primary School in Renfrew. In her
ten years as headteacher she led Arkleston through major curricular
changes and was at the forefront of much innovative work on
learning and teaching. The school gained national recognition
for ethos and behaviour management and its work features on
SOEID staff development CD roms Dealing with Disruption and
The National Priorities and Probationers. Arkleston has twice
been awarded Investors in People status and also achieved
the Motorola award for excellence in enterprise education.
Margaret
is excited by the prospect of a new phase in primary education
with 'curriculum for excellence' giving teachers and managers
permission to be more flexible in order to provide a coherent
educational experience for children. This flexibility could
allow teachers to 'join' the learning, i.e. reintegrate the
curriculum. Margaret is keen to help schools take full advantage
of this opportunity.
Here
are some things people say about Margaret's courses:
"Learning
is unlimited and Learning Unlimited proves it again!"
"I
am full of renewed enthusiasm - thank you Margaret".
"
I feel as if I have learned a lot and had great fun
at the same time - great for classroom".
"Useful,
pleasant, enjoyable, motivating, challenging etc,. Thank you
so much!"
"Today
has been really worthwhile and I have learned so much!"
"The most important thing I learned today was how quickly
you can
set a task but get 100% involvement and enjoyment".
