Ms Davison, Sevenoaks School - World's Best Teacher

Member_SevSchool_Logo.jpg

We all remember our time at school, regardless how long ago it was and most of us will remember that one teacher, or perhaps more, that influenced or made a difference to our lives, perhaps even shaping the course of what we went on to do after school. We are fortunate to have Sevenoaks School as one of our sponsors and they in turn are even more fortunate to have Ms Cat Davison as part of their teaching cohort. Ms Davison has been shortlisted for the world’s “best teacher” in a competition set up by The Varkey Foundation, currently in its seventh year, which was set up to recognise one exceptional teacher and their contribution to the profession.

A critical thinking teacher, Ms Davison’s application of curricula applying ethics to action prompted a surge of 120 student-led projects. Further afield, her work with teachers and students in Ghana and the UK has led to a network of 42 community-led solar-powered libraries, EduSpots.

The top 50 teachers will be narrowed down further and 10 finalists will be announced in October, with overall winners revealed at an awards ceremony in Paris in November.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Sevenoaks School for their ongoing support of Sevenoaks RFC, both as a sponsor and also for allowing the use of their facilities for training.
