Biography
Helen joined the University of Northampton in September 2019 after teaching for 16 years in primary education where she was also an Assistant Head and Governor of a large primary school in Buckinghamshire. Amongst many in-school projects, she implemented Restorative Justice Practices throughout the key stages as a way to resolve conflicts amongst children. She has also been the school’s Pupil Premium Lead, English Lead and Science Lead.
She is now a Senior Lecturer in the Initial Teacher Training team in the Faculty of Health, Education and Society and is currently the Curriculum Lead for science and Design and Technology. She is Module Leader for all the science courses, lectures on the Research Practitioner module and has been the Module Leader in designing and delivering a brand new 30-credit Year 3/Level 6 module in Expertise Teaching.
Her research activities have involved the co-creation of training videos using IRIS Connect software and researching how children use evaluation tools in wellbeing workshops run by the Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Trust (NMPAT). She has also carried out research with the Digital Learning Across Boundaries (DLAB) project and attended international research days at Howest University, Bruges. More recently, Helen has taken part in research related to how and when primary school teachers should teach LGBTQ+ in primary schools and how we can support neurodiverse learners at UON.
Helen has supervised several undergraduate dissertations since she joined the University of Northampton.
