Teaching

Teaching 

I believe that teaching is the most important role within a university, and students are entitled to experience engaging and challenging learning activities, that allow them to develop capabilities relevant for their professional future. My teaching focus is on developing students’ content knowledge and understanding, in tandem with their cognitive, research and communication skills, within a supportive and positive environment. In my units I aim to provide students with authentic learning experiences through partnerships with local schools. To enable my teaching to be contemporary, I have linked my research and teaching, in effect researching my own practice.
