Head of Education Engagement

As Head of Education Engagement, I consider how best to support the teachers and schools who use Giglets, throughout their subscriptions. The Education Engagement Team is always very busy running events and training, developing support content and providing school specific support. It’s a wonderful job being able to work closely with so many schools and teachers!
I have always been passionate about literacy and using digital tools to enhance learning. In 2017, I was lucky enough to be working as a primary teacher in a school that was using Giglets and the chance arose to join the Giglets Team in a training and support role. It’s proven to be an excellent opportunity to further develop as a teacher and be involved in the sector from another perspective.
We recently held online storytelling events for schools where classes could join and listen to a Giglets story read by a professional storyteller. I coordinated and hosted the events and it was incredible to see so many classes across the country share and enjoy the Giglets stories!
I would be back in a primary classroom and, hopefully, I would be using Giglets there!
Rewarding, interesting and varied.
