Personal profile
Approach to teaching
With over 9 years’ experience of teaching English Literature and Media placement modules at the University of Brighton, I have developed a rich understanding of student learning and engagement with experiential modes of study. I am passionate about this pragmatic approach to learning and its benefits to the students. Applying research from their degree allows them to test out theories of practice and to rethink theories of practice based on their experience. I am an advocate of differentiated instruction (Tomlinson, 2004), where the students' learning experience is ultimately tailored according to their interests, readiness and preferred mode of learning (ibid), which makes these modules highly personalised and inclusive.
Research interests
In the next year I wish to develop a profile of research in pedagogy/ curriculum development, including work on placement modules and the application of differentiated instruction to encourage inclusivity.
