When you were starting out in teaching, did you know how to plan and structure a scheme of work? If your subject knowledge was lacking in certain areas, did you have someone you could approach who could offer support or guidance on how to manage this? Things that may seem straightforward to you now could be challenging and overwhelming to someone new to teaching or who is teaching a new specification.
Additionally, schools tend to have just one specialist Textile teacher, which can sometimes leave them feeling disconnected and lacking in confidence when it comes to planning and creating new ideas. Teachers in situations such as this often value the opportunity to share thoughts and inspirations with like-minded individuals who are willing to listen and understand them.
