Biography
Carys is a tutor for the PGCE Secondary Science courses within the Southampton Education School Initial Teacher Education Programmes. She also teaches on the Army PG Dip course, supervises MSc dissertations and is involved with research projects within the Education School.
Carys joined the Southampton Education School in 2014, following a career in secondary education which included teaching in a range of very different secondary schools and as a Head of Science. Her initial role in the Education School was working on external contracts to develop and deliver professional development for qualified teachers across the South of England to improve science education provision. This led to delivering biology subject knowledge sessions on the PGCE science programme and then becoming a full time PGCE tutor.
