My philosophy is to engage and motivate students as well as facilitate their understanding. I believe that successful teaching and learning requires understanding and meeting the needs of different students. This requires varied teaching inputs and assessments, the extensive use of examples and a significant emphasis on problem-based-learning.

Innovation and Leadership: I pioneered two new modules in Irish social policy, introduced a significant element of problem based learning to one of my other BSocSc modules and have had a number of significant achievements in teaching and learning on the analysis of quantitative data among social policy undergraduate students.
