Chris O'Reilly | Director of Studies UK
OneSchool Global

I am the Director of Studies (Secondary) and Digital Lead for the UK region of OneSchool Global, We are an organisation that utilises Zoom and hybrid learning throughout the school with a key focus on students learning how to be self-directed. My background is in senior leadership in both the state and independent sector and I am strong advocate for promoting student agency and supporting inquisitive students through the development of their problem solving and self-directed learning skills. My teaching background is in maths but coming from a Biomechanics and Engineering background I am a strong believer in using context and problem based learning to promote engagement and develop higher order thinking.
