Hi, my name is Debra Lawson and I am a teacher in the Year 3/4 Team.

I have many years experience teaching Year levels 1-4. I am also an experienced reading recovery teacher. I found reading recovery teaching immensely rewarding as I observed children make rapid progress and gain confidence in their ability to learn. I am also a mentor teacher to beginning teachers.

I believe that all children have the ability to learn and make progress regardless of their ability. It is important for children to gain an understanding of how they learn best and to celebrate their new learning. I aim to provide learning experiences to suit different learning styles that are fun and interesting. I actively support children to reflect on their successes and to identify their next learning steps in their learning journey.

I am passionate about teaching and I gain a great deal of satisfaction from being a facilitator of children's learning. It is always satisfying to watch children grow as individuals, both socially and academically.
