Teaching Experience

Teachers play a fundamental role in creating positive futures for the children and young people in their care. My goal as a teacher educator, consultant, researcher and writer is to provide students and teachers with evidence-based guidelines on the art of good teaching and the science of learning and to help them to create school and classroom environments that meet diverse students' educational needs.

Other interests include a passion for swimming, an interest in skiing which started by spending 2 winters as a tour leader in Austria in my 20s, reading and long discussions with friends re books, psychology and the good life and time with my family.
