I am Associate Professor of Education Policy and Practice, and the Director of Nottingham Institute of Education - one of the country's foremost providers of initial teacher training, and a recognised centre for the study of education. I have taught on a range of courses from foundation degrees through to masters. I also supervise a number of doctoral students. I am keen to develop new partnerships with institutions at home and abroad, and am firmly committed to a collaborative approach to education at all levels, in which developments in teaching and learning are based on robust research.
