How did you hear about us and a few words why you want to join EBB:

I have thought for years that when I retired TWB would be a way to continue to work with teachers(in service and pre service) who are trying to build and sustain a teaching practice based upon principles and issues of Social Justice. My work in Access Teacher Education brought me together with students from many parts of the world. Teaching is more and more of a complex activity. I would like to use my experience and research to work with others in the world who share this view. We need to rethink the significance of the role of "educator" and how ordinary people can do extraordinary things.
