<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Hi Suzanne,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I am a textiles teacher in WA and have a few ideas for you. I turned around a very stale & dying subject by making it Fashion & Textiles and really immersing the kids in the fashion industry, using tech, a strong art
focus and really putting our work on display at assemblies, social media & national design competitions. I have just started a new job so have attached a section from my cv that explains the key things that brought about the most change. I've also attached
the assessment task for the Paper Couture project which is always highly successful.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I hope this helps,</p>

<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">Through a range of issues which I won’t go into here we are, like many schools, losing many of our traditional technology subjects…
<div class="">we are a multi campus college so seniors and juniors seldom get the connections… of course classes won’t run with less than 25… so PDT has not run for a few years in either wood or textiles</div>
<div class="">This year year 8 Textiles was removed… so we have 6 months of Textiles before electives at Year 9… I won’t go into the blocking…. but arghhh… we have not had Year 9 run for a few years either… due to decisions beyond our control.</div>
<div class="">Even Food tech has dropped numbers</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
<div class="">I am wanting to think outside the box… ideas to re develop technology… and inspire students to think creatively….</div>
<div class="">Do I start to think of materials tech…. and embrace resistant and non resistant in the same classes, but focus on design thinking, and product development….</div>
<div class="">How have people approached these changes coming from above…. I want to see our area grow, so took on the Domain Leadership this year…. but feel I need some fresh ideas to take to the leadership team.</div>
<div class="">I am comfortable teaching wood and metal (although it has been many years) I can also see the design approach working too...</div>
