Welcome to my Blog!

Resilience, teaching, and everything in between. As a resilience researcher I am fascinated by the amazing strength that can be shown in the most challenging of circumstances. I am particularly interested in the psychological barriers to learning in the classroom, and how mental health and resilience can mediate the attainment gap. Teaching is such a demanding profession, yet little emotional support is given to teaching staff. This blog will discuss these issues in the context of my own experiences, opinions and the academic research.
