I supervise students at Undergraduate level. Topics have included:

  • Additional support needs (autism and Asperger's Syndrome; high ability studies; English as an additional language)
  • The role of nurture groups
  • Moving Image Education
  • Motivation and confidence in learning

I teach on a range of courses across the School, including BEd Primary, BEd Music and general undergraduate education courses. My specialisms are in the role of creativity and the arts in teaching and learning, learning theories and social and cultural issues of education. I have also had experience of teaching on PG programmes within the School since 2006. Prior to this I worked as a secondary school music teacher in Glasgow.
