My Summary

My Experience

I have over 20 years experience in schools working with children with a variety of SEN.
I have experience of whole class teaching, small group teaching and 1-1 teaching. During my 1-1 teaching , I focus on the basic skills of literacy and maths, speech and language targets, social and interaction skills, work around emotions as well as well as more specialist areas such as food therapy and OT needs. I follow advice from professionals and make their recommendations accessible for each child. I am skilled at writing individual learning plans and targets and monitoring and evaluating these frequently to ensure progress is optimal. I can weave different areas of focus into my teaching ensuring that many aspects of a child's needs are covered. I make my teaching as multi-sensory as possible and pride myself on creative teaching approaches. I use children's interests and strengths as much as possible and value the importance of building a good relationship with a child.
