My teaching career spans a few decades in between having 3 children of my own.
I worked as a literacy consultant/teacher in various primary schools (Kindergarten - Year 6; 5 to 12 year olds). I assisted teachers, executive staff, parents and teacher’s aides to implement literacy programs for children who, for many and varied reasons, needed support in their literacy learning.
Over the years, I have taught in both public and private primary schools (K-6) as a specialist literacy teacher in Sydney, Australia. I have also worked for the NSW Department of Education as a Regional Consultant for Early Intervention and Integration (assisting teachers to support children with a disability in a mainstream classroom). Additionally, I have worked in preschools and crèches as an Early Learning Teacher and a Support Teacher for children with a disability.
For me, each child is unique and special in their own way. My job is to find the key to unlock their potential, which is exciting and challenging at times.
