Ulrike initially joined the Research Centre for Learning and Teaching in 2007 as the part-time Co-ordinating editor of the Learning and Teaching Update - a publication for secondary school teachers which was published by Optimus Education and which included articles written by a wide range of contributors from teachers around the country, to academics ( including Dylan Wiliam, Neil Mercer, Gordon Wells, Guy Claxton and Maurice Galton).
Her role as Co-ordinating editor introduced her to a wealth of innovative practice and theory in the field of Education and it is this work that has inspired her current research.
Ulrike Thomas is a Research Associate in the Research Centre for Learning and Teaching and is covering for Lucy whilst she is on maternity leave.
