TEACHING ACTIVITIES
My teaching practice is based on an active engagement with students through the sharing of cutting-edge international research, student participation, innovative module design, regular and self-reflective teaching evaluation and the use of educational technologies that show case passion for the subject. My teaching is grounded in a collegial approach which offers respect for genuinely-held differences in pedagogy and style but which also has an over-riding commitment to the delivery of better teaching outcomes to students. That ongoing debate on teaching innovation has also to incorporate the lived experience of students; their knowledge, needs and expectations - NOT as consumers of education but as partners in education.
