Janneke Koenen
After having children herself, Janneke's interest in children's development was reignited.
I chose to study at the Faculty of Education because I was drawn to the clinical model of teaching that they offered. There is a wonderful sense of community in the faculty and collegiality, both amongst the students and between students and staff. The subjects have been really stimulating and I feel that they have prepared us well for the start of our teaching careers and our ongoing professional development.
