Biography

My current role in the Department focuses on professionalism in Education. I have worked for over ten years in Teacher Education, most recently as the Director of Initial Teacher Training here at York. I contribute to teaching on the BA programme in Education, leading the Perspectives in Education module. I am the course leader for the MA in Education and the MA in Educational Practice.

I have worked for York Local Authority as a Teaching and Learning Consultant, working with teachers and pupils in all York schools, colleges and training centres. The focus of much of this work is linked to teaching and learning, 14-19 Reforms, vocational education, teacher research projects and partnership working.

Previously I have been involved with the National College of School Leadership (NCSL) Network Learning Community work in York, with a focus on Assessment for Learning and with the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) Pathfinder Project focusing on 14-19 Business Partnership working. Other project experience includes Citizenship Education and Diversity in Initial Teacher Training. I am the author of a number of publications in research and development journals.

My previous experience includes leading a successful History department in a large state secondary school and Cross-curricular Literacy Coordinator in a school.
