Lizzie works with our school and trust leaders to support strategic planning of professional development for our teaching teams. As a teaching school hub leader since 2021 and an assistant headteacher at Bennett Memorial School, Lizzie has expertise in the planning and dissemination of high quality development for teachers at all stages of their careers.
Lizzie is a well-known regionally for professional development outside TST, as she facilitates both NPQ and ECF for hundreds of teachers through Kent Teaching School Hub. She has a deep knowledge of the latest educational research and how this translates into practice, drawing on this to support schools across the region as an advisor for our Appropriate Body service.
A particular area of Lizzie’s interest is in the power of instructional coaching for professional development within and beyond a teachers early career. She has spoken alongside national experts to share her experiences of embedding instructional approaches within teams, and across programmes.
