Kia ora koutou,
My name is Ainslie Howie. I am originally from Dunedin but have been based in Rotorua for the last 30 + years. My role in education consists of 19 years teaching experience in intermediate and primary settings, the majority of which was in a leadership role, and 9 years as a Resource Teacher of Learning & Behaviour in Te Hā o Te Manawa Cluster 20, Rotorua. In the latter, I have supported schools, kaiako and whānau across primary and secondary settings. I am a mother of two children. I have a daughter aged 19 and a son who is 16 years old, soon to be 17. My interests include singing and musical theatre. I am a member of the Te Ao Marama Choir and have been involved with many shows over the years. I also enjoy walking and reading. I am excited to take on a new role and I look forward to meeting you and working alongside you in the near future.
Ngā mihi,
Ainslie.

Kia ora koutou,

I am from Sheffield in the North of England but moved to New Zealand in 2007 where I have settled in Cambridge with my family. I am a husband to Mary and father to Evie, Charlotte and Isla. My background before teaching was in Outdoor Education. I then completed my Secondary training in Physical Education and Health at Waikato University in 2006 with my first job being at Cambridge High School. I then moved back to the U.K. for two years where I worked in Primary and Intermediate Special Education Units. On our return to New Zealand, I started working at Matamata College where I took on additional responsibilities of Year 10 Dean and Coach of PB4L-SW. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

Kind regards
Alex

I have been teaching in various roles for 15 years and have learnt lots of things along the way. I love my music and have played in bands for a number of years. I have a sense of humour and I easily relate to a diverse range of people. I have always enjoyed meeting and working with people new and old and I am looking forward to making a small but positive difference in my new role.

Nga mihi,
Mark

Tēnā koutou katoa
Since completing my teaching degree 11 years ago, I have been privileged to teach at a small country school just outside of Waharoa. During this time I have developed a special interest in accelerating learning for those children who face challenges and barriers with achievement. My own teaching practice has been influenced by the guidance and support I received from the services of RTLB, ensuring my students were supported to overcome difficulties.
Being passionate about children believing in themselves and being all that they can be, I feel honoured that I can now give support in a more specialised way. With this thinking, and consolidating what I have learnt as a classroom and specialist literacy teacher, I am very excited to have the opportunity to develop my own learning further.
I am very much looking forward to meeting, and collaborating with, the RTLB team at Cambridge, local schools within the cluster, and with those students and whānau that that are facing challenges.
