Description of research/teaching activities
I am currently involved with Catherine Le Maistre and Anthony Paré in a funded study of the school-to-work transition in a variety of professions. This relates to my interest in the field experiences of education students and the induction and mentoring of new teachers. In addition, I have conducted research and published in the area of religious education in schools, particularly in the area of Catholic education.
