Capacity

Jackie Andrews is the principal of St Teresa’s Primary School, Christchurch, New Zealand, where for the last 10 years she has enjoyed teaching and learning alongside students she describes as “the most fabulous little people”. Her classroom experience, combined with her leadership role, continues to shape the practical, supportive resources she creates for busy educators to make teaching manageable, engaging and effective. Her 75+ educational titles across mathematics, English and curriculum planning are widely used in schools. As schools work through ongoing curriculum changes, Jackie is particularly passionate about creating resources that help teachers make sense of new expectations and confidently support learning so that students experience success in the classroom. Outside of education, Jackie’s greatest joy has been watching her own children grow up and begin to spread their wings.
