Teaching style
My approach is based on best teaching practices like explicit teaching and the I DO, WE DO, YOU DO model, which is reflected in all my lessons. This is where students watch the teacher as they model, they then practise with support, and finally they have a go independently.
I'm more process rather than product driven, and believe students all learn at different rates and there is no one size fits all. It is my aim to instil a love of language and empower my students to feel like successful writers in every step of the writing process.
Awards & shining teacher moments
🎓 SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY research confirmed Scriibi's impact and found:
✨Simplified and clarified the teaching of writing
✨ Improved consistency and reduced planning burden
✨ Supported targeted, differentiated instruction aligned with the curriculum
✨ Built teacher confidence and instructional clarity
My own education history
I have always had a passion for literacy, in particular developing students' writing skills. Early in my career I started diving into research on how to teach writing, everything from clear goals to high-impact strategies, and brought those ideas into my own classroom. Seeing my students’ progress, including stronger National Writing Test results, showed me what was possible. That led me into consulting, where I worked alongside schools to build teacher capacity and confidence in writing instruction. Along the way, I created Scriibi, a curriculum-aligned framework to make the teaching of writing clearer and more practical for teachers.
