Specialists:

  • Leadership & Strategy

  • Curriculum development with a digital technology focus

Personal Statement:

I have worked in all kinds of education focussed roles including teacher, faculty head, education consultant, professional development facilitator, postgraduate lecturer, writer, speaker and sweeper-upper. These roles have seen me work across four continents for government departments, schools, tertiary and higher education institutions, businesses and non-profit organisations.

I have a wide range of experiences and expertise in areas as diverse as curriculum development, using ed-tech to redefine teaching and learning, science education, interdisciplinary teaching and learning (STEM/STEAM and other lovely acronym goodness!), leadership in unpredictable and complex environments (all schools fit here), developing real-world learning opportunities within school curricula, promoting entrepreneurial learning (particularly with a social focus) and I even spent time working in formative assessment consultancy.

I have been fortunate enough to be recognised with a number of awards and scholarships for my work in developing future-oriented learning opportunities for students. These awards include national and International awards including being named Microsoft’s Global Innovative Educator in 2011.

Chris is a fully accredited PLD facilitator through the Ministry of Education.
