  Using the Principles of Learning and Teaching and Theories of Action, I developed a vision for an excellent English Curriculum which was engaging, differentiated and aligned from 7-12; alignment which had never occurred before.

  Research in adolescent health reveals that social, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing is considered essential to effective learning. Wellbeing is a proactive concept and increasingly, the best programs are focusing on developing student strengths. By designing policy and leading programs which promote the development of a stronger sense of personal identity in students and teaching optimistic thinking I enhance significant protective factors and build resilience. I have extensive experience in developing innovative wellbeing programs, managing student behaviour and designing appropriate courses.
