Biography
I enjoyed over twenty years as a teacher and have taught in both mainstream and special school settings; with primary and secondary age ranges. Following my experience in schools I was employed as an SEN/EMAS coordinator in special schools. I spent over 10 years as a local authority Senior Advisory leader for language and literacy, developing my specialisms in both of these areas and strategically supporting schools and pupils.
For the last ten years I have worked in the Department of Psychology and Human Development (Centre for Inclusive Education) as a lecturer and currently lead a Master's programme.
