I am also a principal lecturer in History at UCW, Chair of Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA) conference committee and institutional correspondent for the Centre for Recording Achievement.

I facilitate a great deal of staff development both at UCW and across the HE sector. I am course leader for the SEDA teacher accreditation modules. My workshops at UCW cover such issues as active learning, assessment, module and programme design, sharing effective practice and personal development planning (PDP). Work outside UCW tends to focus on PDP and learning and teaching in History.

In 2001 I was awarded a National Teaching Fellowship with funding for a three year (2001-04) project entitled ‘Taking Progress File Beyond the Enthusiasts’. This project is bringing together 6 HEIs to examine factors influencing student engagement in PDP. It builds on my work supporting the implementation of PDP at UCW through the Student Qualities Profile.
