She spent three years as an Advanced Skills Teacher leading and implementing innovative Teaching and Learning initiatives including KS3 and 4 Learning to Learn and Thinking Skills programmes prior to this appointment. She was awarded the OBE in November 2002 for services to education, having trained many teachers and school leaders in the latest theory and practice of leaning to learn and emotional intelligence.
