In my current position as education consultant I work with schools to provide needs-based professional learning and development. I have proven experience in supporting schools to build appropriate assessment practices to gather, analyse and interpret student achievement information and using it to improve teaching and learning. I am particularly interested in developing and extending content and pedagogical knowledge across the NZC with an emphasis on encouraging student engagement and raising achievement.

School Level: Primary

• Analysis, interpretation and use of student achievement data
• All aspects of reading and writing across the curriculum
• Oral and visual language – English curriculum in the primary school
• Integrating visual arts into the curriculum
• Pedagogical approaches such as cooperative learning and inquiry learning
