Teaching Interests
As a qualified teacher in Higher Education and a Registered Nurse Teacher (NMC, UK), Ashley sees it as his responsibility to maintain a ‘toolkit’ of strategies to engage learners through whatever medium teaching is taking place. He views his role as a facilitator, believing that people have an innate desire to learn, and that a skilled teacher can guide students to shape their own learning journeys and maximise their potential. He believes that teaching should be evidence-based and research driven, both in terms of the content delivered but also in terms of pedagogical approaches. Ashley sees it as his duty to ensure that his ‘classroom’, whether in person or online, is a safe and inclusive learning environment.
