Ashley John (MR) CHRISTUDASON
Summary
I come from a long line of thoughtful and passionate educators who have inspired students through decades of innovative practice. Teaching is deeply embedded within the core of my being. I am a forward-thinking and collaborative team player who aspires to empower learners to love learning and preparedness for the future.
My role as an educator continues to change and evolve, parallel to the ever changing educational landscape. I no longer view myself as a teacher but as a creative educator who is accountable for leading learners. That being said, I also see my role as a steward of my discipline and an architect of reinventing mental models to support learning within our communities. My personal vision for education can be summed up by three action verbs; “create, integrate and educate”.
