After 15 years as a Registered Nurse (Coronary Care/Intensive Care) and 20 years as a Church of England Priest, with a specialism in Digital Theology and Sacramental Mission. I took early retirement from full-time ministry, and now I plan to spend the last 10 years of my working life as a secondary school teacher. This starts with a PGCE in September. Since I was 18 I have worked as a programmer specializing in Node.js, React.js, PHP, VBA, Python and B4x. I am a specialist in full stack application programming and API development. Some of my software is free, especially the religious and educational software if you want to host it yourself, or I offer low cost hosting for you to have a site tailored especially to the needs of your students.
My PGCE is primarily in Computing, but will undoubtedly include reflections on RE and faith. In this Reflective Journal I plan to record my journey through the training and Early Career Teaching process: reflecting on my experiences of Secondary School teaching, the pedagogical process and my subject areas.
