Who am I?
For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Sarah Mitchell. I LOVE helping teachers up-level their literacy teaching practice while making their lives a little easier.
I was lucky enough to land a job in a world-renowned school for kids with dyslexia and dyspraxia where I worked for 7 years as a specialist teacher, literacy co-ordinator and OCR level 5 tutor where I helped other teachers become specialists like me.
As for the formal stuff – I have a Bachelor of Primary Ed from QUT, Oxford Cambridge and RSA Level 5 (teaching learners with specific learning difficulties), OCR Level 7 Diploma (assessing learners for specific learning difficulties) and a Master of Special Education from USQ. I currently assess and diagnose children and work with teachers and parents to help them be confident that what they are doing is the very best known practice for at risk students.
I can’t wait to meet you in person at this Literacy workshop. Spaces are limited to 16 attendees so book your place today!
It’ll be a blast!
Sarah
