Dr Sharon Williams

Sharon worked for over 33 years in secondary education, before retiring from her post as a Vice Principal in charge of Teaching and Learning in 2016.

She has since been working with a variety of different schools to support their various needs in developing leadership teams, individual staff, struggling departments and supporting the building of robust teaching and learning systems. 

Her passion for developing both teachers’ and leaders’ expertise has been demonstrated through her MA and PhD research, shared in her own and in local schools, and through presenting to larger cohorts at various education conferences. Her MA explored the use of technology in the classroom to enhance the communication between the mentor and the new teacher, whilst her PhD focused on developing the theory of Learning Talk in the classroom and how this can lead to rapid progress for all.

Working with UK schools as a PiXL Associate has also enabled Sharon to remain at the forefront of educational initiatives and planning and believes that a collaborative and creative response to the problems we are currently facing is the way forward.  

"Sharon has presented to large and small audiences and many conference gatherings have commented on her ability to engage fellow professionals with her lively and concise style underpinned by an intellectual rigour."
​
"Her contribution to the improvement of education within many institutions and the successful induction of countless new teachers are testament to her undoubted intellect, skills and capabilities."
