My name is Jollie Wheeler! Welcome to my blog where I will be sharing with you some experiences and observations throughout my year as a PGCE student at the University of Brighton.

I have recently graduated from University with a degree in Early Childhood Studies with Special Educational Needs and Inclusion Studies and have experience working as a teaching assistant in a variety of schools across Sussex and Kent.

It is with these experiences that I have learned of my passion and enthusiasm to create an inclusive educational environment for all learners, aspiring and encouraging them to celebrate their uniqueness.

Through my love of children’s literature and continuous interest in child development and learning, i begin this adventure with research and reflections on topics within the world of education, discussing the variety of ‘hats‘ teachers must wear to support children developing holistically, as well as keeping them safe.
