Claire has worked as a teacher and education consultant for nearly 25 years in a variety of mainstream and special education settings in Victoria, Western Australia and London. Her experience includes teaching and leadership roles in Catholic, Independent and government schools, hospital schools and pupil referral units. She also teaches in initial teacher education programs at universities. She has worked for a curriculum association assessing special provisions applications, and as a learning consultant for a Catholic education authority supporting teachers and school leaders with the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD). Claire has also worked as a subject matter expert on several national projects relating to the NCCD, school funding and has helped develop professional learning resources for Australian educators.
Claire completed her PhD at Monash University in 2023, focusing on teachers’ self-efficacy when working with teacher assistants. She was prompted to pursue this line of research when she realised that most teachers have not received any training in how to collaborate effectively with support staff. Currently, she is an associate director at a management consulting firm and is working on state/territory and federal government projects in inclusive education. She also continues to facilitate professional learning for educators.
Inspirational Speakers – the knowledge gained will be so beneficial in my classrooms
Loved the honesty in the sharing of information and strategies
I love the fantastic variety of workshops and conferences on offer. Always look forward to Critical Agendas PD’s.
The best P.D. I have attended in living memory!” I loved every minute of this engaging, interesting and informative PD. And I have been teaching for 40+ years!
“It is the first P.L. in a long long time that I haven’t been checking in with my watch.”
Keep up the fantastic PD opportunities! Very professional and well-researched workshops and conferences.

Just a big Thank you for giving us the opportunity to attend the Critical Agenda Workshop yesterday. David presented a great program, lots of handy strategies and he was very engaging and supportive. Highly recommended. I was very happy we did not have to do any Role play’s.
