A theatrical background set Anna in good stead to become a teacher, and after 13 years of English teaching and having moved into leadership, she still loves to bring a little sparkle and flare to her work. Facilitating student learning was not enough for Anna, so she branched out to growing and developing teachers. As an advocate for ‘Continued Personal and Professional Development’, Anna has spent the past 8 years working in Qatar developing CPPD programmes across the country for teachers and leaders, ultimately to ensure all students, of all backgrounds, get the best possible learning experiences. As well as being an accredited coach, she facilitates training programmes and occasionally gets asked to share her thoughts through webinars and conferences around the world. Recently Anna has been creating her own CPPD programmes based on a collaborative learning ethos, empowering themselves to grow in a coaching culture.
