The IOE’s open-minded approach to pedagogy has had a huge influence on me. By exploring a broad spectrum of pedagogical research, I’ve been able to identify my passions. At the IOE, through researching the impacts of attainment-based groups, I looked into the ways that I can support children that are lower attaining in certain subjects, are struggling or who have special educational needs. I still call on these learnings now: I'll be spending the next couple of months at my school exploring how to support ADHD better in a primary classroom environment.
