About me

About me

Dr Lorele Mackie is a Lecturer in Education in the Faculty of Social Sciences. She is Programme Co-ordinator for the BA (Hons) Professional Education Primary (with specialism in Modern Languages) and works across all Initial Teacher Education programmes. She is Senior Advisor of Studies and Director of Placements for the ITE programme, and is the external examiner for the MA (Hons) Primary Education degree programme, University of Dundee.  As a Primary Education teacher, she taught all stages and has experience of both mainstream and ASN. Prior to commencing her post at the University of Stirling, she was a Teaching Fellow at Moray House School of Education where she developed and ran a range of courses on both the PGDE (Primary) and B.Ed (Primary) programmes. She has particular interests in mentoring beginner teachers, learning and teaching in second and subsequent languages, language and literacy, and learning and teaching. 

Research

My Doctoral thesis is entitled ‘Mentoring Student Primary Education Teachers: an exploration of how mentors and mentees understand and perceive the use of formative assessment principles and practices within the mentoring process’.  My research interests include professional learning and innovative pedagogies. I am currently undertaking research in two areas: the use of formative assessment in the mentoring of primary student teachers; learning and teaching in second and subsequent languages.
