About me
I originally trained in law but soon became interested in teaching through volunteer work with children in inner-city Bristol. My teaching career has included primary classroom teaching, local authority literacy consultancy, in service training and deputy headship of a primary school and now teaching as a Senior Lecturer on Initial Teacher Education programmes. More recently I have been seconded to establish and manage the Bristol Primary Teaching School Alliance.
I have recently completed my doctorate with a focus on the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check.
I was awarded the HEA National Teaching Fellowship in 2012 and as part of the award has travelled to the USA to research reading and literacy teaching and learning in a range of different schools in the urban and rural areas.
I am a member of the United Kingdom Literacy Association and have presented regularly at the UKLA International Conferences as well as other conferences further afield. Last year I was awarded two 'Best Paper' awards, one at the CiCe conference in Madrid and the other at the Faculty Post Grad Research Conference.
Area of expertise
I am passionate about the teaching of English and in particular the teaching of reading.
I was also part of a European research project investigating the use of children’s literature in classrooms across Europe.
