muguku tumain school nairobi kenya
head of department and classroom teacher
As the Head of the Science and Mathematics Department, I lead a dynamic team of teachers across Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics. My core responsibilities include academic planning, monitoring syllabus coverage, coordinating internal assessments, and driving performance improvement strategies. I work closely with school leadership to align departmental goals with the institution’s academic vision and ensure curriculum delivery meets national standards.
I have successfully initiated and supervised collaborative lesson planning sessions, peer lesson observations, and inter-class benchmarking to promote consistency and high-quality teaching across the department. I introduced a system of continuous data analysis using CAT and exam results to track student progress and inform targeted academic interventions.
One of my key achievements has been the establishment of weekly STEM clinics and science practical mentorships, which have significantly boosted learner confidence and participation in national competitions. These efforts have contributed to a notable improvement in the department’s mean scores and overall learner performance in science subjects.
In my teaching role, I handle Chemistry and Physics from Form 1 to Form 4. I use interactive and student-centered approaches such as inquiry-based learning, guided experiments, peer discussions, and ICT tools like simulations and virtual labs to simplify abstract concepts. I also design customized learning materials, including revision booklets and topic-based quizzes, to support differentiated learning.
I prioritize real-life applications and cross-disciplinary connections to help students appreciate the relevance of science in daily life and future careers. Through consistent mentorship, academic clinics, and engaging instruction, I have helped many students improve their academic outcomes and develop a lasting interest in STEM. -
