As well as writing for children, I am an experienced teacher of English and literacy across the school years, and at university level. I am a lecturer and researcher at Curtin University in the School of Education, training the next generation of teachers. You can see my Staff Profile here.

I am happy to visit schools and delver professional Learning, especially in topics relating to the teaching of English, literacy and creativity. Topics I can cover include;

• Teaching poetry in engaging ways
• Building a Reading for Pleasure Culture
• Creative ways to teach writing
• Choosing books for your classroom
• Diving deep into novel study
• Diving deep into picture book study
• Using quality literature to teach writing
• Using fiction in the HASS classroom
