Jason Garnett – Growing and Thriving at The Stable School
When I joined The Stable School, I knew I wanted to make a real difference in the lives of young people with SEN. What I didn’t expect was just how much support and professional development I would receive to help me grow as a teacher and truly tailor my approach to meet the diverse needs of our learners.
One of the things I’ve found most valuable is the specialist training provided. Whether it’s differentiated instruction, behaviour management, or assistive technologies, the workshops have helped me adapt my teaching to ensure every learner gets the support they need.
Beyond training, the mentorship system has been incredible. Being paired with an experienced SEN teacher has meant I always have someone to turn to for advice, feedback, and fresh ideas. We regularly discuss strategies that work, and it’s made such a difference in my confidence and effectiveness in the classroom.
Another huge benefit of working here is the collaborative approach. There’s a real sense of teamwork, with teachers regularly coming together to share insights, plan lessons, and support each other. Having access to specialist resources, research materials, and online courses has also helped me stay up to date with the latest developments in SEN education.
The ongoing feedback and evaluations mean I’m always learning and improving. The leadership team provides constructive guidance, and I know they are genuinely invested in my development as a teacher.
Working at The Stable School has given me the tools, support, and encouragement to become the best educator I can be. More importantly, it has shown me the power of teamwork, continuous learning, and a nurturing environment in creating meaningful change for our students.
