Bio
I am Head of the School of Education at Charles Sturt University. My academic background is in the area of economic history (BA Hons). I have a postgraduate Diploma in Language and Literacy ( CSU ) and a Masters Degree in Education ( CSU ).
My areas of special interest are in VET pedagogy and practice, traineeships, and online teaching and learning. I have had an extensive education career spanning teaching engagements from kindergarten through to tertiary level.
I have received and Order of Australia For service to children and school education, particularly through the Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations of NSW (http:www.itsanhonour.gov.au) and won a Carrick Award for pioneering work at the national and institutional level in the embedding of a VET sector qualfication into university awards, supported by robust credit transfer pathways .
