BA (Hons), MSc, PGCE, MEd, IBEC
Michael studied at the University of Ghana where he completed his BA (Hons) degree in Geography and Resource Development with Political Science. He later moved to the UK where he pursued an MSc in Internet Technologies at the University of Bedfordshire, then followed by his PGCE with a Geography major at the University of Hertfordshire. He has currently completed his Master’s in Educational Leadership with distinction at the University of Dundee and also holds an IB educator certificate. Michael has been teaching at secondary level since 2004 from KS3 through to KS5. Apart from Geography, he has also taught History, Politics, ICT and Global Perspectives at various levels.
In 2011 Michael took the middle leader's course at the National College for Teaching and Leadership to prepare him for middle leadership. He held the post of head of department for 5 years until he decided to move overseas to China to start his international teaching career in 2018. Once he moved to China, he took up the role of coordinator for his school's Somerset overseas educational programme that immersed students into cultural and bilingual experiences in the UK to broaden their understanding on the world around them.
Michael took the decision to move to China because he wanted to explore and expose his children to a world of cultures and opportunities and to nurture and develop them into truly global citizens. Michael joined BSB in 2019, his second international post in China. What attracts him the most to BSB, is the multicultural student and staff composition, a perfect recipe for true global learning.
In his spare time, Michael likes to catch up with the latest news updates where he gets ideas to bring the world into the classroom. He is passionate about technology but also likes to travel and go out with his family to explore local cuisine. He is married with two children who are both in BSB.
