Shafina Vohra, a teacher at the London Design and Engineering University Technical College, has been shortlisted for the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize. She has developed a curriculum using LEGO as a delivery tool and has reached over 8000 people through workshops.
She has reached the top-10 final shortlist for the eight-year-old Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize , which was set up to recognise one exceptional teacher who has made an outstanding contribution to the profession.What began as a way to engage a fidgety Year 7 science class became an everyday tool to aid keyword recall, recreate studies in psychology, understand methodology, make links between topics, and support game-based learning.
Shafina's students, aged 16 to 18, run these sessions for children and young children at the same time.She had a difficult road to becoming a teacher; a car accident in her second-to-last year of university left her with the loss of her father and multiple fractures of the spine, right femur and pelvis.
As she had been awarded a distinction in her undergraduate project, she was invited to teach a course at the university, and soon after began to teach psychology at a local Sixth Form college.
