I have been teaching since 1977 across all levels of the education system. Since 2000, I have worked in a local high school and currently teach EAL/D. Over the years, I have taught a range of subjects, primarily within HSIE, including thirteen years of Legal Studies. I am also a long-term casual academic at UNE in the HASSE faculty. I am in the final year of a PhD examining Legal Studies students’ writing in the final examination, with findings that inform argument writing across all HSIE subjects.
