Sally-Ann Morrison

Hello there! I'm Sally-Ann, a former Patoss APC reviewer with over 25 years of experience as an SpLD Specialist. Throughout my career, I've contributed to postgraduate courses at London South Bank and Edge Hill University, where I served as Senior Lecturer on the AMBDA programme. As an assessor and long term APC holder myself, I can fully empathise with the challenges you may encounter in your professional journey. My goal is to support you in navigating your professional role and to enhance your skills as an assessor. I have a great network of fellow specialists and regularly consult with SASC to ensure that Praxis content is relevant, up to date and accurate. I am often commended on my ability to simplify potentially complex information, and I strive to bring that clarity to my training and coaching sessions. By working with me, you will embrace my motto of 'This is a do-able job.' I am here to guide you, fine tune you, and demonstrate that maintaining excellence in this field is within your reach.

Sally-Ann delivers yet another amazing course! Whilst unable to attend the training live, working my way through the video today in fact took more than 4 hours whilst I paused it to reflect on and make changes to various documents I use in my practice. The course is full of nuggets of crucial advice that highlights however far we are into our assessment careers that we can still learn from each other and be inspired. Thank you, Sally-Ann!! You bring such warmth and real personable approach to all your courses.

This was so helpful and reassuring. I had been panicking about the new changes but now have a better understanding and feel much better about it all. I wished I had attended the live session rather than the recording because I did have a few additional questions - not because it didn't cover enough detail but simply because I have a tendency to over-think everything!
