SLE Pen Portrait
Name: Claire Johnson
Current position: Year 6 Class Teacher, Phase Leader for years 5/6, Computing Leader and CEOP Ambassador
Quote from SLE:
‘Technology is moving at such a rapid pace: sometimes it can be hard to keep track of recent developments and prepare children for the skills they will require in the business sector. Having developed long term planning, assessment and monitoring resources, including exemplars, I have shared outstanding computing practice across the Halesowen network and have consequently contributed towards the attainment and development of future generations. As a CEOP Ambassador, I have supported in the delivery of e-safety and child exploitation workshops for teachers, pupils and parents. I give teachers and leaders the tools and confidence to improve practice and attainment in their own schools and keep children safe in the digital world.’
