Overview

Dr Sue Duchesne coordinates the teacher education programs at UOW Bega campus. Working with students in their learning and teaching is exciting and rewarding. As part of this work, she is currently exploring students as partners in learning and teaching, involving students in design and delivery of activities in the Master of Teaching program on regional campuses of UOW. She is also involved in professional development for teachers, with a particular focus on support of mentoring.

Sue co-authors Educational Psychology for Learning and Teaching. This text has been adopted at many universities in Australia and New Zealand, with feedback from students and academics that they appreciate its clear accessible style, focus on the Australian and New Zealand context, and links to practice.
