Since joining Staffordshire University in 2011, I have been an Award Leader of partnerships-based programmes, such as the Foundation Degree in Education, BA Education and Lifelong Learning ESOL and Initial Teacher Training Awards. I am currently Award Leader for the PgCHPE and APA. My expertise within all education sectors has informed the successful education books which I have co-written. These are aimed at supporting practitioners from Primary to Adult learning sectors to improve their practice-based skills through critically informed reflective thinking. I have gained a Doctorate in Education, with research focusing on evaluating graduate attributes for enhanced employability prospects.
