Profile
My expertise and experience (in Australia and overseas) is in developing and implementing inclusive teaching strategies and curricula for diverse learners in order to create an 'enabling' environment which respects and values the learning styles, education and cultures of all participants.
Learning and Teaching Interests
My current interests include:
- Offering workshops to faculty and general staff on how to develop and apply innovative inclusive teaching approaches to accommodate learner diversity (learning styles and preferences)
- Supporting teaching development of staff in the Graduate Certificate in Higher Education program and Foundations program
- Making presentations to staff at faculty committee meetings on the issues facing diverse/non-traditional learners at university
- Continued development of a website for staff on inclusive teaching practices: http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/inclusivity.
- Delivering education, training, and change management sessions on diversity in the workplace, to associated education organisations
Awards
- Vice-Chancellor's Equity and Diversity Award 2007 for significant contribution to the enhancement
of equity and diversity principles at Monash University
