My lifelong passion is Physical Education. Following my Initial Teacher Training at Bedford College of Physical Education in the 1970s I worked as a Physical Education teacher and subsequently Head of Department in Hertfordshire for 22 years.
During this time I developed an interest in mentoring trainee Physical Education teachers and through this interest began an MA course at DeMontfort University Bedford.
In January 2000 I was appointed as Senior Lecturer at De Montfort University. My main responsibilities centred on teaching and subsequently leading the Physical Education ITT undergraduate programme.
I also teach on the PGCE Physical Education course. My main contributions are to the professional and pedagogical elements of both courses. I remain an active participant in swimming, cycling and playing golf when time permits.
I am a trustee and the secretary of Bedford Physical Education Old Students Association. (Registered Charity No. 290930)
Our organisation has an educational projects fund that grants bursaries to individuals or groups. The fund is available to anyone who is undertaking a project which is concerned with the advancement of physical education, dance or sport.
The results or findings should be disseminated to enable public benefit.
In 2003 I was an invited speaker at Beijing Normal University Physical Education and Sport Conference 2003 where I gave a paper and ran a workshop for Chinese Physical Education Teachers.
More recently I have given a presentation at the South and East regional Physical Education Initial Teacher Training Network conference on the new Ofsted framework.
