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.
