Claire Parsons:
Claire has been teaching Textiles for 15 years in a range of different schools and settings. Recently she made a life move to a different city and began teaching in a small SEND school. Since starting in January she has had to completely rethink the way she plans, resources and teaches her lessons to a range of different needs and abilities. It has been a refreshing but challenging experience, and she is looking forward to sharing what she has learnt with you.
