Mike is Course Coordinator for the Diploma in Education and Training taught at Halesowen College and a Course Tutor on the Further Education PGCE.

Mike qualified as a teacher in 2006 and has worked in both Secondary and Further Education. He was an FE Sport Lecturer in the West Midlands for 12 years (from 2010) where he taught Sport at Levels 1 through to 5, as well as having a host of other CPD roles. He has been a Learning Technology Champion, a Professional Development Manager, and a Quality Development Manager, working with teaching staff to improve their practice.

A teaching and learning enthusiast, Mike has presented at numerous practitioner conferences over the past few years, most notably having been invited to speak at the relaunch of the East Midlands Learning and Skills Research Network.

Mike completed his Masters by Research at the 51ÊÓƵ in 2020, for which he investigated the embodiment of Christian sportsmen in the UK. He is still fascinated by the sociology and theology of the body and will talk about it whenever he has the chance.

In recent years, Mike has also developed a student-focussed YouTube channel, which aims to provide clarity on key topics in Sport and PE curricula.
