@amoriestrauss
I design accessible English and EAL curricula, assessments, and learning resources for primary learners.
What I'm looking for
I develop progressive English and EAL curricula for primary learners, translating Cambridge learning objectives into curriculum maps, lesson sequences, assessments, rubrics, and differentiated resources.
Across private-school teaching roles in Swakopmund, Walvis Bay, and Oranjemund, I’ve supported multilingual and special-needs learners through inclusive instruction, literacy initiatives, digital learning, and evidence-informed progress tracking.
