Growing
Throughout the past few years that I have studied as an ETAD student and have worked as an Instructional Designer, I have gained the confidence to branch out and apply my new skills and understandings in so many ways. As a Learning Coach I had the flexibility and variety of classrooms to stretch beyond my own subjects areas. Having held a leadership role has allowed me to focus on the importance of mentor-ship skills, organisational and planning skills and create positive meaningful relationships with my colleagues.
