I am a Professor of Vocational Education and Director of the Centre for Excellence in Teacher Training (SUNCETT) at the University of Sunderland. My research interests include, forms of knowledge; practitioner-research; vocational education; initial and continuing professional learning and development; formative, summative and multimodal assessment; models of educational change and improvement.
Most recently, my research explores the nature of educational practice and the relationship of practice to theory in vocational education, including processes and stages in the development of different forms of knowledge, skills, and the advancement of craft.
I have extensive experience working with national UK government agencies and policy professionals in the design and development of national professional standards for teachers. I have also conducted research in joint curriculum planning and multimodal assessment in T Levels and in other vocational subject specialist curricula including the development of creative pedagogic strategies across vocational subjects and disciplines.
