Suzanne Culshaw

Suzanne Culshaw is a part-time Research Fellow in the School of Education at the University of Hertfordshire. Her interest in educational research was sparked during her MEd at the Faculty of Education in Cambridge, where she investigated the impact of lesson observation feedback on teachers’ sense of self-efficacy. She was then successful in being awarded a fully-funded studentship at the University of Hertfordshire where she completed her PhD in October 2019. Her doctoral research looked at what it means to be struggling as a teacher, a study with implications for professional learning and leadership approaches. Currently she is part of an Erasmus+ research project - ENABLES - in the School of Education, exploring arts-based approaches to the development of distributed leadership. Suzanne is a keen user of Twitter and understands the role social media can play in disseminating research to the wider field of academics and practitioners.
