I am a lecturer in the School of Education in science and mathematics education. I teach in the undergraduate program, B ED (Primary and Middle) and in the Graduate Certificate of Education.

I coordinate a general study, Local and Global Environments, that draws on many areas of learning including science, mathematics and environmental studies.

My current research is in improving pedagoies is middle schooling.

Areas of interest: Science education; Middle schooling; Conceptual Mediation Program; Futures Education; Environmental Education; Transpersonal studies
