Paul Campbell

I’m a Scottish Primary Teacher teaching at a Junior School in Hong Kong. Before that I taught in a large 3-18 school in Barcelona teaching Prep (4 and 5 year olds), and Grade 2. Previously, I was a Primary 5 teacher in a large primary school in East Renfrewshire, Scotland, a Grade 1 and 2 Literacy Teacher in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia and prior to that, Primary 3 teacher at a large primary school in North Lanarkshire, Scotland.My main interests are in Assessment, Curriculum, Leadership of Sustainable Change, Early Childhood Development, Teacher Professional Learning and Education Policy Development.I completed my B.Ed. in Primary Education and my M.Ed. in Education Studies both at the University of Strathclyde. I am now an Ed.D. student at the University of Glasgow and have explored Critical Reflection in Professional Learning and Practice, Education Policy, Educational Futures, and Ethics and Education, much of which was looking at inequalities in education. I’m now developing my Ed.D. thesis around the role of collaboration in the process of school and system development.I am co-coordinator of the Educational Leadership Network of the International Congress for School Effectiveness and Improvement (ICSEI), and sit on the International Committee of the International Professional Development Association (IPDA).I was an adviser and past Convenor of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers’ UK wide steering group for education policy and campaigns related to student and newly qualified teachers and the changing educational landscape (particularly technology for learning and approaches to curriculum).
