Over twenty years experience within primary science education, teaching, and leading science across the full primary age-range in both mainstream and SEND schools. Currently working as an independent science consultant and an award-winning Fellow of the Primary Science Teaching Trust, I enjoy facilitating learning by working with in-service teachers with Manchester University’s Science and Engineering Education and Research Innovation Hub and leading Hub Leaders in my role as the Regional Leader for PSQM in the Northwest and Northern Ireland. Previous roles include writing for Pearsons Publishers to produce pupil and teacher guides for science, working with the BBC to evaluate primary science resources and more recently writing a chapter on promoting understanding through dialogue for the ASE flagship book, A guide to Primary Science Education. All roles, past and present, have the same theme - to support and facilitate improvement and a life-long enjoyment of science.
