NALDIC Trustee, Director & Company Secretary

I have been a member of NALDIC since attending their Summer School for EAL Coordinators at Homerton College, Cambridge. It was such a great course, at fantastic value, that I later joined NALDIC, volunteered to support their committees and have attended many events since.

Through volunteering and working as EAL Project Officer, the consultant for the UK’s national subject association for EAL, I have taken on a variety of endeavours, including:

• The review, redesign, restructure and launch of the new website

• Facilitating NALDIC and external groups and networks, both local and nationwide, including the Co-convening of NALDIC's Independent Schools SIG

• Supporting the planning and running of NALDIC events, including the annual conference

• Photographing and videoing events

• Administrative Audit

• Supporting, updating and producing training and information resources and publications, including:

  • Writing about EAL learners and Second/Additional Language Acquisition for GL Assessment

  • Producing a training video and workbook for Ofsted about EAL

  • Writing for EAL Journal

  • Associate Editor of EAL Journal

At the AGM in 2018, I was elected to the NALDIC Executive as a Trustee and Director of the association.

In my third term now, I serve as NALDIC’s Secretary and sit on the Executive Committee and other NALDIC Teams.
