What next?
Craft Knives was very successful, but the Design Product course will be based around a different product in 2009 so that students view it with a fresh eye, instead of looking back at the results from the previous year. Lesley points out that it's also good for teachers to have variety to ensure they don't become complacent. "I think we, as staff, should be challenged as much as the kids". However, Craft Knives might be taught again in three years or so when it will be new to incoming students.
Lesley is now working with Team Solutions, providing professional development in Technology to schools in Auckland and Northland.
