Meet James Denby
James Denby is a lecturer at NHL Stenden, (ITeps).
James is a lecturer at NHL Stenden in the Netherlands. Creating a learning environment that promotes problem-solving and original ideas is at the center of his work.

James has created Competency Portfolios for his teachers in training. His student teachers are building an understanding of each competency, identifying areas of growth, documenting their growth, and self-evaluating. Spinndle allows students to reflect AS the learning is happening, rather than waiting to the end.
