Professional interests
My professional interest is in providing the best kind of education based on international studies of Finland and other significant education systems.
Research interests
I have investigated the Role of Higher Level Teaching Assistants and explored through a Teaching Informed Research (TIR) the Early Years system in Finland (2008). I had an article published about Finland in the BERA Research Journal www.bera.ac.uk/publications/spring-2010.
I participated in a European Study visit to Brussels in 2010 and was one of the group reporters for the ECOTEC Study Visit in March (2010). In 2011 I worked collaboratively with Dr Des Hewitt and Charlie Davis at the University of Derby on a TIR investigating the potential uses of Skype in education following a successful project linking a school in England with a school in Saxony, Germany.
I am currently engaged in editing a book titled Exploring Childhood in a Comparative Context: An introductory guide for students. This book should be published in July 2013.
