Senior Lecturer in Primary & Childhood Education, Edge Hill University
My name is Dr Shaun Thompson and I am a senior lecturer in primary and childhood education at Edge Hill University. My current teaching and research focuses predominantly around the areas of SEND, inclusion, research methods, Alternative provision, mental health and well-being. I have presented my work both Nationally and Internationally and have a variety of published articles and book chapters.
I am currently leading on an initiative to support and engage schools and school staff within educational research, particularly considering the impact of new educational initiatives within, within the settings they are being implemented.
Prior to working in higher education, I worked in both mainstream primary schools and special education settings and have held the posts of both deputy head teacher and head teacher.
