Hi my name is Mellisa Cooper. I possess a Bachelor of Teaching (University of New England Northern Rivers), a Post Graduate in Special Education (University of Wollongong) and a Proficient Teacher Accreditation (NSW Education Standards Authority). I have extensive classroom experience as a classroom teacher and Learning Assistant Support Teacher (LAST) with 29 years in the educational field. I have effectively taught and managed classes across all stages (Early Stage 1 to Stage 4) in a variety of educational settings. During LAST I have taught numeracy, literacy, social, emotional, well being and extension programs. They have been implemented in small groups or with individual students catering for the diverse needs of the learners. These programs have facilitated learning and growth both academically and personally which provided the education to equip each individual with the tools necessary to thrive and achieve.
