Paul Cammack worked as a teacher in secondary and primary schools in Lancashire for 18 years before moving into initial teacher education (ITE) at St Martin’s College and the University of Cumbria. Paul has taught across a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate and Masters level courses on both university-based and school-based ITE programmes and he has experience of working on transnational projects exploring school leadership, the evaluation of teachers’ practice, and tackling marginalisation in education.

Tony Ewens worked as a teacher and headteacher in primary and middle schools in Devon, then as the county’s advisory teacher for religious and moral education, before moving into Initial Teacher Education as a lecturer at St Martin’s College (now the University of Cumbria). Specialising in philosophy of education as well as RE, he became Head of Education and Associate Dean at St Martin’s College. Upon the formation of the University of Cumbria Tony was appointed Head of Education Studies. He retired in 2008 and worked as a freelance consultant and author.
