Profile | I graduated from the University of Manchester with an honours degree in Law. I currently work at the University of Manchester as a Student Experience Administrator supporting undergraduate students throughout their degree programme. I also work at Manchester United as an Area Manager. I am passionate about improving the educational opportunities and attainment of children and young people. I have gained experience in helping others to overcome perceived barriers to their learning and development through various roles including whilst volunteering as a classroom assistant at my local primary school, through the development of the 70+ staff I manage at Manchester United and through my work with students within the University. In addition to the roles set out above, I have been fortunate enough to have been able to gain experience in various other sectors so far in my career, including providing legal advice to the public through the University’s Legal Advice Centre and volunteering with a charity that supports young people at immediate risk of homelessness. |

Profile | My name is Mohammad Hasan. I have been living in Longsight since 2009. Currently, my two children are studying at Stanley Grove primary Academy- One in Year 3 (Mahnoor Hasan Inas) in and 2nd child is in reception (Mahrukh Khusbhu). Currently I am working as a Graduate Assistant Teacher (GTA) at the University of Sheffield, beside my PGR. I have significant leadership skill and training in academia that could be helpful in guide the group of people at a different level of ages. Some of them are in below: 1) Academic culture: Transition and Expectations This is basically key to focus on academic context and expectations of teaching. Such as prospects of student and teachers as a member of the community. Identify approaches to support the student to make a smooth and successful transition. 2) Lecturing This is another useful skill which mainly focusing on effective practice in a large group, including the engaging audience, designing lecture, promoting active engagement in lecture and effective classroom management. Also, I have had workshops about assessment and feedback, research supervisor, problem-solving, laboratory demonstration and seminar facilities. Confidently, that skill and experience can be endorsed on the next level, though, Stanley Grove currently is doing outstanding in Manchester. This is why as a parent, I feel privileged to be part of a school as a parent governor that has a caring and nurturing an environment where standards are high, and children thrive. Finally, I am committed, organised and passionate about promoting STANLEY GROVE ACADEMY as the best school in this country for our local children. |
