Biography
I have over 20 years experience in initial teacher education. My area of expertise is in drama education across the primary, and secondary programmes. I bring experience and training in professional theatre and a primary teaching background. My research interests are in drama education and an applied theatre approach to pedagogy across the curriculum. More recently I have been involved in research projects in primary schools where we worked alongside primary teachers as we have explored the affordances of imbedding process drama in the primary literacy programme.
