Paulet Brown has worked in higher education and has dedicated her life to student success. She believes that education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
As an academic, it is our job to provide the tools necessary for students to build their future and prepare them for every tomorrow to come.

Overview
Paulet is presently undertaking a PhD at the Institute of Education, University of London. Her study explores a school-based initiative that aimed to raise standards of literacy through the introduction of an adapted curriculum. It not only reflects on the school’s concerns but also those relating to standards of literacy nationally. It forms part of a case study on the evaluation of the impact of A Literacy Support Initiative (LSI), a project which targeted a sample of secondary aged pupils whose attainment on entry to year seven was significantly below that of pupils of their age and well below the nationally expected level four. As such these pupils were at risk of academic failure. An illuminative evaluation and a phenomenographic approach will be used to describe, analyse and understand the ways in which the participants experience aspects of the LSI.

Paulet’s main interests include project evaluative studies and literacy learning among ‘at risk’ pupils. She hopes to set up a joint project with The Bahamas and London to explore possible ways of improving literacy among pupils identified as at risk.
