Designing, making and teaching

Hello! I'm a secondary school design and technology teacher. If you'd like to see what's going on in my classroom check out MrWalkerDesign on Instagram.

This site is a collection of items I've designed to help make teaching more efficient; if the world around us is better organised, then we can spend our time where it counts the most.

Useful things I've made that might help you too

Weekly & Monthly Planners

I couldn't find a planner that looked like my day, so I made one. If we can better organise and see the information we need, then that's one less thing to think about and carry around in our brains.

Guidelines

I'm a typography nerd and I think a basic understanding is really useful for teachers when we're trying to communicate effectively with all students - so I made this short typesetting guide.

This is just a first step towards a set of classroom design principles much like the UK Government Design Principles.

The font I recommend is Atkinson Hyperlegible.
