Andrew Pearce
Andrew Pearce is co-creator of ‘Single Steps Learning’ which is a UK-based training, consultancy and continued professional learning and development service. It specialises in empowering educational practitioners to design for learning, infusing Five Key Concepts - Community Learning, Experiential Learning, Problem-Based Learning, Quality Learning and Reflective Learning. Training events are bespoke and ‘walk the talk’, providing an active learning approach that is underpinned by formative assessment. Single Steps Learning currently works with individual schools, clusters of schools, local authorities/councils, colleges/universities and organisations in the UK and USA - training practitioners who work with Early Years through to High School and Adult Learners.
Andrew has worked in both inner-city and rural schools in South Wales during his 20 years of school-based teaching. He has many years experience in leadership and management and successfully completed his ‘National Professional Qualification for Headship’ in 2005. Andrew’s work on developing literacy standards with 10 year olds was recognised nationally and featured on TV and radio. He also co-authored the ‘Community Builder Pack - Critical Skills Programme UK’ and contributed to many others.
For three years, Andrew was a Programme Manager for a UK-based educational training company. In this role he supported the professional development of many teachers, schools and authorities throughout the UK. His calm, humorous approach results in a relaxed atmosphere where learners of all ages feel comfortable enough to take risks and stretch their learning.
Andrew aims to ‘make a positive difference’ to people in all that he does. Outside of his professional life, his passion is music. He is a talented singer/songwriter and particularly loves to play guitar. His songs have featured on radio and his most recent album is available on iTunes and Amazon.
