Currently work in the Youth Justice Service developing programmes of intervention for young people in the service.
Past experience working as a teacher of Art and Graphics in a young offenders institute, teacher in alternative provision education specialising in SEMH & SEND, and mainstream secondary teacher of Design Technology and Art & Design.
I pride myself on creating visually appealing resources with interesting content that appeals to young people who are disengaged from education.

This resource is part of a larger scale programme I have created called COPE.
The full COPE programme has the potential to claim for 5 AQA accreditations, or there is the option to complete any of the 5 AQA accreditations individually.
AQA 118047 covers: definition of emotions, different emotions, recognising emotions, emotional regulation, coping strategies / emotional regulation strategies (the incredible 5 point scale, how big is my worry, breathing exercises, listening to music, grounding techniques, emotional check-ins, strengths and weaknesses chart, the stress bucket, the STOPP technique), recognising emotions in self and others, thoughts, feelings annd behaviours and how they link, red and green thoughts, the ABC model.
Please note: the full COPE programme, plus all of the other 4 AQAs linked to the full programme, will be available to buy separately on here.
I created this programme for use with young people in contact with the Youth Justice Service, however I previously taught in mainstream secondary and alternative provisions and definitely feel this would be perfect for any setting.
