Dr Sharon WilliamsSharon has worked for over 33 years in secondary education, most recently as a Vice Principal in charge of Teaching and Learning.
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. She wholeheartedly believes that an interactive questioning style and planned collaborative learning enables students to articulate their learning – thus both embedding new knowledge and understanding how to recall it as necessary. |
Sharon has presented to small and large 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.
A specialist in Drama Education, having qualified at Central School of Speech and Drama in 1983, she has also worked with both primary and secondary age students delivering drama workshops and devising up to performance.
