I have worked in schools, mostly primary, for many years with many different roles, including:

1. •subject leader
   

2. •advisory teacher
   

3. •deputy head teacher in a large primary school
   

4. •question writing and reviewing for national tests and Cambridge mathematics
   

5. •senior lecturer ITT
   

6. •author of articles and curriculum materials
   

7. •CPD provider for a range of LAs  and organisations
   

I am particularly interested in the use of Lesson Study and teacher research as a vehicle for developing teaching and learning in mathematics, and in promoting children and teachers enjoyment and positive view of themselves as creative learners of mathematics. I am convinced that all adults and children can be successful and happy mathematicians!
