Morag Redford, Professor

Associate Dean Education at University of the Highlands and Islands

Professor Morag Redford is Head of Teacher Education in the University of the Highlands, a federated institution situated in nine colleges across the north and west of Scotland. Her research focuses on teacher education and the interface between research, policy and practice with a particular interest in the relationship between rural schools and their communities. Morag has a substantial interest in professional learning, interprofessional practice and the political administration of Scottish Education. Her early research in professional learning led to the design of an analytic structure to support teachers carrying out action research in their settings, work that led to commissions from the Scottish Arts Council, the Educational Institute for Scotland; and from the Scottish Government to lead the collaborative design of a Scottish Framework for Masters in Education.
