I currently work predominantly with undergraduate education students across a range of courses. These include modules tackling social psychology in education, pedagogy and classroom practice, special and inclusive education for children with different educational needs (particularly high ability and learning difficulties). I teach a module on education outside the classroom, with a focus on museum and gallery education and co-teach about children and the media. I also work with postgraduate students, mainly through supervision and guest lectures on different modules.
I have various other roles in the School of Education, such as Learning and Teaching lead, Library Representative and Disciplinary Officer.
Work with children and families: I have a decade of experience of teaching in schools, including experience in the maintained, independent and international sectors. I continue to run family workshops in museums and galleries, as well as children's activities.

I am able to deliver professional development sessions or programmes for teachers on a variety of subjects, with an appropriate mix of useful practical ideas and strong theoretical grounding. I particularly enjoy visiting schools where the needs of more able pupils (with/without additional learning needs) are being addressed.
I have led teams undertaking evaluations of museum work and reviewing professional development for teachers of the able. I have acted as a consultant on various government education projects (particularly around the needs of able children from disadvantged backgrounds or with learning difficulties). I regularly work with Local Authorities concerning providing challenge for pupils in schools.
