Mark Foster

Director of Trinity Institute of Education

Primary School Direct Lead
I have been leading in primary education since 2001, teaching across all key stages and delivering bespoke Maths sessions to School Direct trainees. I have supported the teaching of Maths in primary schools through developing both leaders and classroom teachers. I am the TIE's Primary Lead, working on the initial teacher training programme and supporting trainees on their journey to becoming effective classroom practitioners.

Elaine Guzdek

TIE Primary Lead

Secondary School Direct Lead
I have taught in secondary education since 2002 as a Head of Year and Curriculum Leader for Design and Performance. I have now been in my TiE role for 5 years and thoroughly enjoy working with new trainees into the education sector. I am a positive person who has a real passion for the pastoral side of schools; I hope I can inspire and motivate new teachers to embrace this area too.
