About
Passionate about creative approaches to research and teaching in higher education, I have worked in educational development for thirteen years, leading a few fascinating research projects. My PhD explored teacher development through the stories of rural primary teachers in KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. It was a study of the gap between the policy landscape and the lived experience of teachers.
The best and the most enjoyable thing I have done is leading the ‘Transforming the Experience of Students through Assessment’ (TESTA) project. TESTA has generated programmatic approaches to assessment and feedback in more than 50 UK universities, and in Australian and Indian universities.
