Vikki Wynn

I am currently a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education and Society, specifically on PGCE Early Years Teaching (DL).

My own experience is focused on early years education, with all of my own studies being conducted alongside employment in a range of early years settings. This has included management roles, giving me a breadth of experience of supervising teams, delivering training for continuous professional development, and understanding the requirements in practice for senior leaders, early years teachers, and practitioners alike.

I am also involved in school governance and a local committee to strive for the continuous development of all to provide the best possible outcomes for our youngest children.

During my time at the University (as an alumni myself) I have enjoyed being part of a range of courses and modules, including Childhood Studies, Primary Education, and as a PAT (Personal Academic Tutor) on the ITE courses.

From my own experiences, I understand the need for positive support networks to instil confidence in students to develop and hone their skills as professionals. Having many 'real-life' case studies, examples, and scenarios to share, supports students in applying theory to practice.
