I have been a teacher of mathematics, computing and technology for 20 years. I have also held a number of pastoral roles firstly as a higher education advisor and more recently as a senior head of house. In recent years I have largely been involved in projects related to innovations in approaches to assessment and curriculum development in ICT. This work as included co- authoring two programmes which encourage students to develop creativity through independent and authentic learning experiences. I have spoken at a number of conferences including 2 adobe education leadership conferences in Sydney and Hong Kong.
