"I was privileged to have Leanne Jones mentor me during two separate placements. Leanne was not only thoroughly organised in planning for me to teach, but she was also exceptionally supportive in ensuring I had adequate time each day for planning, and reflecting on lessons. Leanne was always conscientious and generous with her time, which greatly diminished the stress of being a teacher candidate. By taking the time after each lesson, Leanne helped me reflect on my teaching practice and to set practical goals for my improvement. Leanne would monitor and adjust my development goals and tailored her coaching to facilitate them, which ensured that I continued growing throughout my placements. Leanne’s professional attitude and kind temperament made my experience both rewarding and enjoyable."
