I have worked as a teacher and senior manager in four secondary schools. Starting as a teacher of English and Drama I went on to lead an Expressive Arts faculty before becoming a deputy head teacher in two schools in Bristol and London. My last position responsible for staff development led me to be particularly interested in the role schools play in developing student teachers. I have completed an MA in Education (Publishing), an MSc in Educational Research Methodology and a DPhil in teacher education. My doctoral research was an ethnographic study considering how secondary school subject departments contribute to student teachers' learning.
My book Student Teachers in School Practice is published by Palgrave Macmillan:

I am the director of the Research Group TALIS (Teaching and Learning in Schools) at the University of Roehampton. I am also a member of the Research Centre 'Research in Inequalities, Societies and Education' (RISE), and an associate member of the Oxford Centre for Sociocultural and Activity Theory Research (OSAT) at the University of Oxford.
I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy and hold a University of Roehampton Teaching Fellowship.
