Workshops and in-school professional learning
I offer online and face-to-face workshops for the teaching of writing, and spelling, and reading. Register for an upcoming online workshop here, or contact me to organise a tailor-made workshop for your school or Community of Learning.
I also work alongside teachers and students in classrooms, modelling methods and ‘walking the talk’. As I am a Ministry-accredited facilitator, New Zealand schools can use their regionally allocated hours to work with me.
My methods are practical and fun. I build on teachers’ strengths and encourage them to work smarter - not harder. I understand the pressures of the classroom and provide a variety of learning experiences, including working alongside teachers in their classrooms - modelling teaching strategies and how to put these into action in your classroom.
