Joel Chandler
Dean of Teaching & Learning / IT Manager
In my role I spend a large amount of time behind the scenes working towards making sure we are preparing our students for life whatever their skills or skill levels as well as assist teachers to improve practice and curriculum within the college. I am responsible for carrying out and reporting on academic evaluations including work with QCAA, report cards, data analysis, NAPLAN and Diagnostic testing.
I have always had a passion for teaching, and throughout high school and university I have been involved in teaching and tutoring students across a wide range of interests and abilities.
After working for a number of years in the Queensland electricity industry I decided to follow my first love, teaching Maths, Science and Technology. After completing teacher training, I worked in NSW as a Middle School Teacher for one year, until I escaped back to Queensland and worked as a Secondary Science, Maths and Technology teacher at Mackay Christian College for 3 years. I moved to Emerald Christian College in 2009.
I have a deep passion to see students push themselves to new limits and to discover the world that God has made.
