Having obtained a joint degree in Drama and French, where she spent a year in France teaching EFL – English as a foreign language; Sam developed her love of teaching and sharing knowledge. During her PGCE training, Sam focussed on SEN (Special educational needs as it was then called) for her part masters dissertation. This body of work was used during SEN Lectures by one of the PGCE lecturers until her retirement.

During her professional teaching career, Sam taught a variety of subjects – French, drama, dance, PE and basic skills (literacy and numeracy) to pupils of all abilities and created schemes of work for SEN pupils. Having honed her skills in secondary education, Sam is passionate about further developing basic skills within the ALN community; something that is often forgotten about after leaving full time education.

Alongside teaching, Sam has been a qualified dance fitness instructor for over 8 years. She has been lucky enough to be a presenter and training team member for a national brand; which have given her the tools to further develop her skills. For the past few years, Sam has developed SEN and inclusive classes all over Swansea and surrounding areas, working with colleges and day services to provide stimulating opportunities to those with ALN and disabilities. These classes have been recognised on a national level when Sam recently won UK Diversity and Equality Instructor of the year at the National Community Fitness Awards in Newcastle November 2017.

Sam is thrilled to have the opportunity to offer 3 unique opportunities to the ALN community in South Wales.

A crazy week of learning!

Hi!

So this week has been a week of learning! I've has been incredibly busy training in London - Yoga For Cerebral Palsy and PMLD. What an amazing experience! A massive thank you to the course trainer Jyoti Jo Manuel who was such a patient and fantastic instructor. Advocating a mix of breathing exercises, massage and stretches this course gives the opportunity for practitioners to bring sessions to children who most often than not aren't able to access such extra- curricular activities. What an invigorating few days ( although 2 full days of sitting on yoga mats has given me such an achy back! Oh the irony!!) I can't wait to get into the studio and work some of these new concepts into our CanDo programmes.

If that wasn't enough, it was back home late Tuesday evening to prepare for my final day of Makaton training. I know what you're thinking.... why did she schedule them all together?! Yeap, a question I have been asking myself.... turns out I really like to panic and stress myself out to the point that I'm on my last legs. haha. 200+ new signs learnt and a fight to keep focused! A huge thank you to Sian Davey the regional Makaton Tutor - the help and support was second to none.

So now the task of learning fluidity of speaking and signing begins..... at home, shopping, in my adult fitness classes and my ALN / SEN classes... everyone is going to be experiencing my Makaton signing! As they say practice makes perfect! ( Well... let's hope! )
