As Education Programme Manager, Accent Learning I am responsible for leading professional development in primary and intermediate schools in the greater Wellington region. From 2000, and prior to my current role, I was an educational leader within Victoria University College of Education.  I have evaluated different models of professional development to develop a more holistic and coherent approach that empowers advisers and teachers to transfer knowledge and effective teaching strategies across learning areas.

My teaching experience covers primary, intermediate and tertiary levels. I am interested in adult professional learning and development, evidence-based teaching and learning and my research has been on aspects of classroom practice.
