I have a passion for creating order and encouraging students to creatively explore Literature and English. Over 21 years of teaching, mostly in secondary schools. I have also worked in primary schools as a Reading Recovery Teacher and Teacher Librarian. I believe in the power of observation and working with the students in front of you.
Creative, thinking curriculum, open to new ideas, mixed with the all important basics and essentials.
Yet to be added
Majored in English and Teacher Librarianship at Melbourne University. Since then I have also undergone a great deal of professional development in Literacy, technology and learning.
I love curriculum design and planning. Check out my blog Radiant Heart Publishing at https://radiantheartpublishing.blogspot.com/
