Biography

I graduated in Chemistry from the University of Hull where I also gained his PGCE and MA (Science Education). I joined the University in January 2008 having taught Chemistry and Science for many years in 11-18 secondary schools in North Lincolnshire, Hull and Sussex. During this period I had extensive experience as a Head of Science and was also an Assistant Headteacher. I gained NPQH and was a Lead Teacher for Science and served on the QCA Science Panel. I am currently completing an Ed.D. at the University of Sussex and I hold memberships with BERA and the ASE.

Current and recent research projects

I have recently undertaken the internal evaluation of the University of Sussex InSTEP project where live school lessons were observed by trainee science teachers at the university. I am also currently undertaking research with a colleague from Leeds Metropolitan University on using video technology to (1) develop subject knowledge and (2) enhance mid-career teachers’ classroom practice.
