I have been a Teacher of Food & Head of Dept for 25 years and have been involved in many projects offered by the Food Teachers Centre over the years. I have experience in Primary and Secondary teacher training and have led on the Core SCITT course and would love to share my experience with teachers coming into this exciting profession. My aim is to support teachers and build their confidence in teaching practical food sessions.
