As Senior Lecturer in Education at The School of Education and Communities I am involved in developing, delivering and managing learning and teaching for professional post-graduate learners on Initial Teacher Education programmes for both the secondary and lifelong learning sectors. I am Subject Leader for the School Direct (SD) humanities and social science Secondary Initial Teacher Education programmes and share responsibility for Secondary PGCE Geography with a colleague. I am also the Programme Leader for the PG Cert Learning and Teaching in Higher Education which is accredited by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) for the recognition of FHEA. My work also involves working collaboratively with local partners and providers of post compulsory education both within our consortium colleges and within London as a whole. I have an interest in podcasting and in the use of emergent technologies as a tool for research, teacher education pedagogy, new teacher identity, digital ethnography and student voice. My research interests also include a commitment to participatory and inclusive action research as a means to develop teacher professionalism and practice.
I have had a writing career spanning over 15 years, supporting learning and teaching in a variety of contexts – sociology and education, learning and teaching and e learning. Prior to working in Higher Education, I have taught the humanities and sociology and psychology for 14 years in secondary schools and Sixth Form Colleges in Surrey, Kent and London as an ‘advanced teaching practitioner’. I previously worked in the multi-cultural, urban environment of Newham in east London for eight years in the Post Compulsory sector as a teacher of sociology, social science manager of a large Sixth Form College and as an action-researcher and cross-college manager responsible for Teaching and Learning.
My Doctorate (awarded May 2017) used a digital ethnographic method to explore the identities and craft practices of novice teachers in the life-long learning sector in England.
I am currently the Professional Standards Framework (PSF) Manager and Chair.
