As a conscientious primary school teacher, my main aim has always been to further children’s education and to make a difference to their learning. I have a Psychology degree from the University of Leicester and completed my PGCE at Northampton University; however, after working in mainstream education for 8 years, I decided a change was required and I moved into special educational teaching. Facilitating the progress of children with moderate learning difficulties can be a real challenge; it is, however, also one of the most important aspects of being a teacher and one which I take very seriously. This is the driving factor behind becoming a practitioner research and the inspiration behind choosing to complete my MA in Education at Bishop Grosseteste University. As I continue my journey, I hope to extend my knowledge and understanding in order to enhance the learners of the future.
