She has published widely including chapters in books, articles in academic journals, numerous end of award reports to research councils and charities including a research report for circulation to school managers in all secondary schools (DfEE, 1999), articles in practitioner journals, a training pack for use in primary schools (Institute of Education, 1989) and a study guide for students taking psychology of education courses at a distance (University of London, 1993,1999).
