Over 25 years working and teaching in primary and secondary special schools in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Experienced at senior and specialist levels I passionately believe in giving students with challenges a voice. Some may be already shouting loudly (!) but need a little interpretation to understand what they need to develop into their best selves.
All young people need to be understood and no one more so than students with learning and behaviour challenges. I bring a strongly collaborative approach borne from a commitment to restorative approaches and experiences through working with students with SEND , reading recovery and resource teaching of learning and behaviour (RTLB).
Coaching for middle and senior leaders
This results based restorative approach is informed by how people take in new information, approach their work, and interact with each other. The measure of success is through behaviour change and the formation of new habits.
