Senior Lecturer in the School of Education and Professional Studies, Griffith University
My teaching career spans 35 years in school systems, where I have taught across a range of disciplines and held several high-profile positions. I am employed at Griffith University within the School of Education and Professional Studies (EPS) in an array of courses across the Bachelor of Education, Masters of Secondary Teaching, and Graduate Certificate in Special Needs Education.
The completion of a Doctorate of Education in 2014 has afforded me the opportunity to build a national profile in special needs education. My thesis adopted social constructionism as a theoretical framework for exploring the schooling experience of six adolescent boys diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). My current research on differentiated learning experiences and teaching practices best suited to students with ADHD in selected Queensland schools is providing me with a platform to build an international profile as a leader in the area.
