Biography

I serve on the editorial board of two international journals: the Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education and Research in Mathematics Education. Developing theory to explain effective and equitable practices in the field is a key interest which lends itself to practical action focused on changing unproductive situations within mathematics education. An example of this focus is my co-authored Best Evidence Synthesis on mathematics teaching practice which has been disseminated internationally and to all New Zealand schools and centres.
