Throughout her education, Ms.Karen Mead has pursued her passion for art, studying Art and Design at college and achieving a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art at university of Reading.
After volunteering in schools, it was clear that teaching art and experiencing the wonderful talents of young people was her passion. She then completed a Graduate Teacher Programme and gained Qualified Teacher Status.
After 5 successful years teaching, Karen was promoted to Head of Art; a role which she enjoyed for 7 years. She is now looking forward to embracing new challenges, discovering student’s individual talents, and developing our creative thinkers of the future at BIS. Karen joined in BIS in 2019/2020 School Year so this is her second year at BIS.
“As an individual I am passionate about providing the best opportunities for students, and keep my knowledge of teaching and learning up to date with new initiatives. I believe it is important to push our skills to the limit and enthuse those around us with our experiences. I see art as a tool to encourage, inspire and promote curiosity within student’s learning and creative activities. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, creating my own artwork, going to the theatre, and experiencing all things creative!”
在她的整个教育过程中，凯伦女士米德一直追求她对艺术的热情，在大学学习艺术和设计，并在雷丁大学获得美术荣誉学士学位。
在学校做过志愿者后，很明显，教授艺术和体验年轻人的精彩才能是她的激情所在。之后，她完成了研究生教师课程，并获得了合格教师资格。
在成功地教了5年书之后，凯伦被提升为艺术系主任；这个角色她享受了7年。她现在期待着迎接新的挑战，发掘学生的个人才能，培养我们在BIS的未来创造性思维。Karen于2019/2020学年加入BIS，因此这是她在BIS的第二年。
“作为一个个体，我热衷于为学生提供的机会，并不断更新我的教学知识。我相信把我们的技能发挥到极限，用我们的经验来激励周围的人是很重要的。我认为艺术是一种鼓励、激发和促进学生在学习和创作活动中的好奇心的工具。在我的业余时间，我喜欢花时间和家人在一起，创作我自己的作品，去剧院，体验所有有创意的东西！”
