Biography
I currently am researching in three key areas:
1. Mentoring. We are examining Future-focused Mentoring and researching ways mentoring can be enhanced by looking at Early Career Teachers (ECT) and Mentors working together.
2. Children's Literature. Researching ways that children's literature is utilised in prior to school settings, school settings and in Initial Teacher Education programmes.
3. Values Education. There are two key focus areas here:
(a) Values Education and Children's literature, and
(b) Values Education and philosophy for children
