Lincoln is a passionate and dynamic primary school teacher. He is well organised and has over 11 years of teaching experience. His practice is guided by evidenced-based teaching and learning and the belief that the ‘relationship’ is at the core of teaching and learning. Most of his teaching experience has been in the international arena, 6 years in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and in Beijing since August 2019.
Lincoln has a thirst for knowledge and an openness to continuously learn more.He is in my final year as a PhD in Education student at the Nelson Mandela University with a research focus on Language, Literature and Culture. He believes that his research will add to the body of knowledge in relation to how books may influence children’s deliberations about the world.
Lincoln believes that the accumulation of experiential knowledge, skills and competencies gained from over 10 years in the international teaching arena can now be transferred to any context he finds himself in. Thus, his motivation to join BSB Shunyi in 2023 is driven by his enthusiasm to broaden his input as a teacher and because he believes that there is much to be learnt from working at BSB Shunyi.
As much as possible, Lincoln tries to live a simple life. He tries to exercise at least 3-4 times a week. He has a great love for reading. Another hobby is baking: some of his favourite things to bake include bagels, carrot cake and Japanese milk bread. One thing he wishes to improve over the next few months is his attitude towards eating fruits and vegetables and to commit himself to drinking at least 2L of water a day.
