Displaying emotional intelligence and self-reflection he has developed a rapport with students and worked alongside parents to create good outcomes. Dylan works hard to create learning opportunities that give real world knowledge to his students.

“Through Dylan’s methodical approach to his classroom practice, he has seen steady improvement in his students’ effort and behaviour results. Particularly for students on an Individual Curriculum Plan (ICP), with the majority receiving a C or higher at age level appropriate curriculum.” Megan says.

Continuing to read and research he has developed curriculum in line with the new Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) and continues to develop pedagogical practice.
