MEET MICHAEL CRESSWELL

I have known for about 10 years as a sport coach, teacher education student and an excellent and enthusiastic teacher. Michael simply loves teaching and this permeates all areas of his professional life. Whilst it is a loss to our local schools that he has embarked on more international professional experiences, this is entirely consistent with his own thirst for learning. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

 Mr Cresswell is a passionate and motivated leader for the future. he has been an integral part of the development of a school and community. He introduced new technology with the use of apps in the classroom, along with new technological communication apps that promoted a knowledge and understanding of school culture and pedagogical approach to education throughout the community. He has always had positive feedback from students, staff and parents relating to his abilities and performance. He was a crucial access point for improved communication for the community through his actions of implementing technology in the school community. 

He would be a great asset for any school, both in the classroom and in leadership roles.

I wish him all the best in his future endeavours and have no doubt in recommending him for any position he desires.

International Educator

I had the pleasure of working with Michael as my school's programme coordinator in Norway. As an early years teacher, I found Michael passionate about international education, inquiry as a stance for teaching, and he continuously strives to stay curious about the world around him. He loves when children discover something new and eagerly share their learning with him. Michael has an excellent working relationship with all his colleagues, and working with him has been inspiring, motivating and enriching. His caring nature and excellent ability to collaborate reflects the meaning of lifelong learning. Michael is without a doubt a true educational leader who leads alongside his peers and not in front. Talented, reliable, trustworthy and always on task, Michael Cresswell will make a positive and significant contribution to any organisation.

PYP Coordinator & Teacher @ Aalesund International School, Norway

I found Michael to be an authentic 21st century leader who inspires confidence in his colleagues. His personal skills allow him to build strong relationships with all those in the school community. Michael became my mentor whilst completing a PGCE in International Education and I learned a great deal from him. This is not to say that he provided me with answers; he asked the right questions. This reflects Michael's passion for inquiry learning on all levels, inspiring teachers of the future to work alongside students in a partnership, learning together in a forever changing world. Michael has my unwavering support in all his endeavours and would recommend him to any establishment.
