Personal statement
My聽work focuses on the development of innovative pedagogies and research methodologies (including visual approaches) that facilitate effective talk about learning (metacognition).聽I am interested in the development and exploration of democratic spaces where learners can talk about their experiences of learning.
I have worked extensively in partnership with teachers of all ages and stages, using practitioner enquiry approachesand have a growing interest in how tools with pedagogic and methodological origins can be used to support theorised practice.聽I聽have used the same ideas when working under a 'students as researchers' or student voice heading with children as young as 4.聽I am interested in methodologies for gathering learners鈥� views on experience, curriculum and learning.聽I am particularly interested in how visual approaches can facilitate voice with young children 鈥� I often think we have not been asking children their opinion or to participate in appropriate ways.聽I am interested in generating knowledge of ethical practice for eliciting voice within a democratic community and to do this, particularly with young children, then I think we need to look to more creative methods and practices for supporting the level of participation and ensuring authentic voice.
