Bio

I lecture in curriculum and pedagogy for both undergraduate and post graduate pre-service teachers at Monash University Australia.
I was formerly a high school teacher and school principal in government (public)schools.

My research focuses on teacher pedagogies that engage all students but in particular how can these improve outcomes for at-risk students? I am currently researching teacher beliefs about their own pedagogical efficacy and their beliefs about students from Culturally, Linguistically and Economically Diverse (CLED) Communities.

I hold to a critical and post-structural orientation to pedagogy that is distinguishable by its political commitment to a radical social justice (with interests in who benefits and who does not by particular social arrangements) and its dialectic critical method investigating how school education can improve student outcomes for all but in particular for at risk students.
