Teaching and working with students is one of my passions. I have been an educator for 20 years, from secondary schools to university. I have been involved in Initial Teacher Education at different universities in Portugal, and I have been training teachers in various countries (e.g., Portugal, United Kingdom, Greece, Romania, Canada). These programmes focused on Pedagogy, Educational Technologies, Inclusion and Diversity, Hidden Curriculum and Values, and Educational Innovation and STEM.
I acted as an educational consultant and expert to various institutions (e.g., European Commission, Bradford University, Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute). In the last 4 years, I have been a guest lecturer at several universities (e.g., Malmö University, IOE-UCL, Winchester University). I have also designed a MOOC and other online training for eTwinning, the European Union programme, on educational technologies, project-based learning, inclusion and diversity.
Before joining Kingston, I worked as Open Digital Educational Resource Co-ordinator and on Teacher Teaching Education for the Secretariat for Education of the Autonomous Region of the Azores, Portugal. In this role, I designed and led the development of an educational resource online platform for teachers and students (http://reda.azores.gov.pt) and designed several digital resources in STEM and Citizenship.
