Tony Richardson
Tony Richardson has been involved in education for nearly 30 years in various roles from classroom teacher to school administration. He currently works at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, as a sessional tutor in the Faculty of Education. Prior to this he worked for the University of the Sunshine Coast’s International Projects Division as a Teacher Advisor and Lead Academic on international projects focusing on educational leadership in Indonesian, with a particular emphasis on the region of Papua. Tony’s areas of interest relate to teacher and teaching quality, educational leadership, feedback and feed forward discourse, and preservice teacher education. Tony has previously co-authored a number of papers with Chris Dann focusing on preservice teachers and the use of technology to diminish the ‘gaps-in-knowledge’ associated with preservice teacher practicums. Tony is currently completing his Doctor of Philosophy through the University of the Sunshine Coast. His thesis focuses on ‘A quality teacher’. His research into a quality teacher studied early career teachers’ conceptions of a quality teacher through the use of a phenomenographic research methodology. Tony’s research into a quality teacher contributes to a focus on teacher quality, teacher professional standards, and the significance of ensuring the implementation of teacher professional standards at the teaching coalface.
