I have recently returned after completing 18 months of teaching abroad in London, United Kingdom. Prior to heading to London I completed my Graduate Diploma of Secondary Education in Residency Mode at Edith Cowen University in Western Australia in 2013, which saw me embedded in a secondary school for two days a week when not on a full-time practicum placement. Whilst in London, I worked initially as a supply teacher in a number of schools and then on contract in two schools.
