Biography

 

Having had a successful career in secondary education (for 13 years) in a wide range of schools, prior to entering Higher Education I was a Gatsby Fellow,  head of department and a member of senior management with responsibility for whole school issues including monitoring, assessment and recording. Since moving into Higher Education in 2000 my work has involved  policy, practice and publications in a variety of areas including Teacher Education, Technology Education and Creative and Design Education. Currently I am a member of three editorial boards and in 2013 I received an ''Outstanding Contribution award'' from the D&TA for my work related to Teacher Education.

Currently in my role of Professor of Education I am Director of Teaching and Learning in the School of Enivronment, Education and Development. I also hold a strategic role for oversight of Initial Teacher Education and maintain an executive responsibility for the University of Manchester Teach First provision.
