She still manages to squeeze time in on a regular basis to teach as she considers keeping close to the classroom a vital part of being a trainer who is "in touch" with the craft of teaching. Jane believes in quality assuring all methods that she promotes. She worked at Local Authority level as a Literacy Consultant for six years and during that time and since has supported schools out of "categories" and her advice and support has been valued by the many teachers she has worked with. She now works not only as an independent consultant but also in close collaboration with other highly regarded authors and trainers such as Ros Wilson and Val Sabin. Colleagues that have attended any of Jane's courses describe her approach as vibrant, inspirational and meaningful. |
Author and designer of teaching and classroom resources, she has written a number of books on the teaching of children in the primary classroom. Her series of books "The Nine Story Journeys" provides a visual structure that supports improvements in writing attainments. It enables pupils to design their story shape and extend ideas orally and kinaesthetically prior to writing. The Nine Story Journey system is easy and accessible to classroom practitioners and will impact on pupils' ability to construct whole stories rather than short burst chunks. It is a must for all teachers to add to their toolkit.
