Massive congratulations to all the Faculty of Education alumni who have won awards in this year’s KM Charity Teacher of the Year Awards.<\/p>\n
Adela Granger, pictured above with her PGCE tutor, Justine Earl, won the overall Kent NQT of the Year Award. Adela completed her PGCE Part-Time at Canterbury Christ Church University in 2016 and is an NQT at St Anthony’s School in Margate. <\/p>\n
Adela said she was inspired to become a teacher because she loves working with children and wanted to make their education experience positive and enjoyable. Adela told us of her love of teaching: “Having worked in a school before I trained to become a teacher, I have always loved how each day is completely different, presenting a range of challenges but also rewarding. I have always enjoyed the challenges that come with working in a school and love how enthusiastic the children are! Working with children with SEN, I aim to help them develop and improve their levels of self-esteem and confidence and provide them with opportunities to achieve.” <\/p>\n
Abby Turner, who completed the BA Primary Education in 2017, won the NQT of the Year for the Canterbury area. Abby was presented her award by Tracy Parvin who taught her both in primary school and then on the BA Primary Education course.<\/p>\n
