At Clarus, we would like to introduce our TEC (Teach, Educate, Coach) Team representative, Samantha Cox, who is here to help prepare you for your upcoming trial and position.
Samantha, one of fantastic team has set up a ‘Clarus Classroom’ full of videos and information about key areas involved in your role, including behaviour, safeguarding, assessment, curriculum overviews for each Key Stage and working with children with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
The TEC Team has been created to offer valuable advice and support, which is personalised to anyone who registers with Clarus.
Samantha was a Primary School teacher for almost 18 years, starting in Reception as an NQT, moving into Key Stage 1 teaching Year 1, spending a couple of years teaching Year 3, and then the latter part of her career teaching Year 2.
Samantha has taught in UK mainstream schools for most of her teaching career, but was also fortunate to teach at private international schools in Dubai, Rome, and most recently, as a Founding Teacher at a prestigious school in New York.
She has always enjoyed working in Key Stage 1, and has a passion for supporting children in the early years of their development, instilling the basic skills to enable good academic progress. Phonics in KS1 has been a particular strength of Samantha’s, and Maths an area of enjoyment.
With her many years of teaching and varied experiences, Samantha can offer advice and support for your journey with Clarus Education as a Teaching Assistant.
