I work through teaching, consultancy and research mentoring to support the development of research-informed teaching by educators in universities and in schools. My background is in teacher education but within higher education I have worked in academic development and research capacity-building roles. In my consultancy work I draw on theory and research but place a strong value on teachers’ practical wisdom and work through collaborative inquiry and practitioner research to support development of practice. Current work includes:

Supervision of doctoral education research and online workshops and courses to support professional learning, research and writing for publication of university-based teacher educators.

Working with AdvanceHE ‘Degree Standards‘ Project providing online workshops for academics from across the full range of disciplines focused on assessment and grading student work.

Conference chair of the assessment in higher education conference (AHE network) and of the teacher education advancement network (TEAN).
