Biography

I'm a post doctoral researcher at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, focusing on teacher education and the development of schools as learning communities. I am currently working in the EDUCA Flagship. My research interests include enhancing learning community practices, interdisciplinary learning, exploring new educational technologies, and the future of learning.

The development of schools as learning communities supports the development of individuals, teams and schools as a whole. Identifying the learning and development needs of schools as part of research-based development is increasingly important. As schools have different starting points for development, collaboration between researchers and schools is essential for learning and development linked to practice, but also for research.

I am always open for discussion and co-development. Let's be in touch!

Research interests

I am interested in how school improvement can be guided by collaborative development, creating supportive structures that benefit both teachers and students.

My research focuses on developing schools as learning communities. In my dissertation, I examined how teachers' mental models, a shared school vision, and team learning can support the communal development of a unified school as a learning community. My dissertation is available at .
