Research summary
I have always been interested in the lived experiences of teachers, focusing on issues relating to retention. In my current role, I am interested in ITE student mentoring and in teachers' professional learning, thinking particularly about how we can bridge the gap between what happens in universities and what happens in schools.
Central to my role as Programme Director is a focus on teaching for social justice and I am particularly interested in creating inclusive learning environments, both at ITE level and in the school classroom.
