I work through teaching, consultancy and research mentoring to support the development of research-informed teaching by teachers and teacher educators. My background is in teacher education but within higher education I have worked in capacity-building roles in academic development and research. In my research activity 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:

I am a member of the steering group of BERA TEAN (teacher education advancement network) and conference chair of the assessment in higher education conference (AHE network).

I support the professional learning and development of teacher educators through workshops, online courses, research mentoring and supervision. I am co-author of a new practical guide for teacher educators published by Routledge: Being a Teacher Educator (2026) Pete Boyd, Pippa Leslie, Jean Murray and Lisa Murtagh.

For several years I have worked as an associate with AdvanceHE in the ‘Degree Standards‘ Project providing online workshops for academics from across the full range of disciplines focused on assessment and grading student work.
