I have had throughout my career a commitment to the improvement of quality of education delivered in schools.  This has led me to work consistently at updating and upgrading my own subject qualifications (I have four post-graduate degrees and diplomas), my wider skills (I have a number of ICT and sport qualifications), and at helping others to develop their skills and expertise.

I was a Development Officer in Modern Languages for the Higher Still Development Unit which reorganised all Scotland’s formal school qualifications from 1996 to 2001, and worked on tailoring the curriculum to meet the needs of students from Access 3 level to Advanced Higher. I was then appointed Higher Still Development Unit National Trainer in Modern Languages, explaining and helping manage the changes I had been involved in producing to teachers across Scotland.

I have worked extensively in staff development: I have also completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in Human Management.  I was for a number of years a Trade Union Secretary for the teachers’ union, the EIS. Through this role, I was involved in consultation on and implementation of significant changes to structures and working patterns, and helped in involving staff in these processes, in a supportive role.  I was also for a time elected to be a member of the General Teaching Council, (Scotland). Throughout this time, I continued to be a teacher of languages.

As a Quality Improvement Officer, I worked extensively with head teachers, councillors, the Inspectorate, and a variety of colleagues not directly involved in teaching. My role was to inspect schools and suggest ways that schools and individual teachers could improve outcomes for their learners. I currently work in a number of areas, helping learners of languages to achieve more and supporting teachers in their personal and professional development.
