The world is changing, society's expectations are changing, and our students are changing. It follows that the methods for teaching are

changing as well. I look forward enthusiastically to the implementation of my newly acquired 21st

Century teaching approaches with my school team and students. This will create better teaching learning environment in The City

School.
