Following a long career in teaching in secondary schools and training science teachers in the Universities of Leeds, Oxford and Birmingham, I have taken on consultancy work. From October 2011 I have worked on projects involving curriculum development, practical work, argumentation, model-based learning and CPD for science teachers. I am a biology specialist and the areas where I have expertise include
- Initial and early career teacher education
- Mentor training and coaching
- Assessment, particularly of practical skills
- Subject knowledge and pedagogy for beginning teachers
- Fieldwork in biology
- Using living things in teaching
- Science education research
My experience includes CPD work with teachers from the UK, Pakistan, Cyprus, Chile and South Korea. For more information please contact me.
