I am Professor of Pedagogy, Policy and Innovation in the School of Education and my teaching and research focuses on the role of inquiry in teachers’ professional learning.  I am interested in the role of universities, and teacher educators in particular, in the creation and translation of knowledge about teaching and learning.  This interest is linked to the wider issue of the relationship between theory and practice in  professional development.

Research interests

  • Evaluating the impact of innovative pedagogies  on learning in classrooms.
  • The role of inquiry in teachers’ professional learning
  • The development of evidence informed practice in education.
  • The role of school-university partnerships in creating and translating knowledge about teaching and learning.

Research collaborations

Learning to Learn Phase 4 with Newcastle University and Durham University.
