I am Programme Leader for two employment-based routes into Initial Teacher Education at UCL Institute of Education: the School Direct (Salaried) programme and the School Centred Initial Teacher Training (SCITT) PGCE.
I am also a lecturer in education, specialising in Computing education, and previously worked on the Teach First PGCE and PGDE programmes as subject lead. I was seconded by Teach First as a national curriculum lead for Computing and Information Communication Technology (ICT), co-ordinating the input of university partners across the country.
Before joining the Institute of Education, I spent over 5 years as a programme manager and national subject adviser for ICT at the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (a non-departmental public body providing authoritative advice to the Department for Education in the development of curriculum, assessment and qualifications).
Prior to this I was a Regional Director for the government’s National Strategies with responsibility for the local authorities in Yorkshire and Humberside. My other posts have included 10 years of teaching experience and roles as an advisory teacher and local authority adviser.
