Meagan Blakeway

I am an experienced educator who knows how to challenge and differentiate children’s learning
abilities, can take a lead role in organizing and implementing extra-curricular activities and has
experience and confidence in teaching various ages.

With ten years of experience teaching Grade RR, Grade R, Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3 I have
become an expert commanding and micromanaging a classroom in small and large groups. I can lead
a team, as I was the Grade Head at a previous place of employment. Through dealing with managing a team, performing a mountain of administrative tasks daily whilst teaching a full class, and organizing a Grade with all their needs, I feel I am an ideal candidate for this position.

Some highlights from my current and past teaching experience includes:
- Grade Head of Grade 3
- Finalist for National Teachers Awards for Excellence in Primary School Teaching 2019
- Planning and executing excursions for Grade 3 learners
- Planning and implementing new English teaching and assessment strategies in Grade 3
- Head of Mini-Cricket and Mini-Netball
- Member of the PTA and Concert Committee
- Member of the Extra-Mural Committee

Beyond my teaching experience and classroom management skills, I believe my enthusiasm and my
organizational skills make me a perfect fit for your position available. I am able to harness my communication and interpersonal skills to liaise between colleagues, Head of Departments and Senior DepartmentalHeads. I oversaw scheduling weekly meetings with my Grade and monthly meetings with my Head of Department. Due to my strong ability to multitask, I was in charge of taking minutes of the majority of meetings.
