My Story
Born in Cardiff, trained in Scotland, taught in Malaysia. Home again.
I'm ​Laurence Bowker, a passionate and committed primary school teacher, middle leader and educational blogger. I completed my PDGE in Edinburgh in 2017 and since then have taught in Scotland, Malaysia and now back home in Cardiff. I have a background in teaching EFL before training as a primary teacher and have a keen interest in utilising the findings of cognitive psychology in the classroom to ensure pupils not only enjoy learning, but also maximise their opportunity to learn using evidence informed pedagogy and best practice. I also love incorporating technology, conducting enquiries into my own teaching and am developing my leadership skills.
Outside of teaching I am a family man who enjoys spending time with my wife and sons, watching football, going fishing, reading crime thrillers, eating Malaysian food and catching up with friends.
