Canterbury, England, United Kingdom

Fellow of the HEA and a research-informed educator academic with a broad range of experience in relation to the development and Quality Assurance of teachers, colleagues, in-school mentors in their support of secondary pupils. Currently, I lead trainee teachers in their professional and academic growth, as well as pastoral support. My professional interests and expertise include Initial Teacher Education, critical reflection, mentoring, coaching and critical friendship as well as English subject pedagogy and CPD design, delivery and evaluation. I am currently in the first year of my Doctorate in Education at CCCU. My first assignment focused upon the role and development of reflection in teaching professionals; my second assignment focused upon the role of knowledge in relation to narrative methodologies. My thesis is likely to focus upon mentoring using a narrative methodology.My university roles include/ have included: Summer Institute Lead, English Lead, Mentor Development Lead, Personnel Academic Tutor (PAT), Professional Tutor, PGDE Module Lead; all whilst working alongside Teach First partners, trainees, Schools Direct students, PGCE students, ECTs and mentors. In my core role, I have supported more than 200 beginner teachers through their Initial Teacher Training with over 95% completing their training and being awarded QTS; I have inspired many to complete their MA Ed.I take a systematic approach to recording all elements of my planning and interactions. This enables me to monitor trainee progress and identify where there may be gaps in knowledge and how to address them. I have acquired a high level of skill and experience and am regularly called upon by colleagues to offer advice, guidance, judgements and opinions. I started and promote ‘Academic Natter’, a monthly online micro-conference which enables colleagues to share their research with critical friends. This has been a valuable segue into colleagues presenting at further conferences.
