Eleanor Milligan

I am a lecturer in education with a background in early years teaching and leadership. My predominant role is on the primary PGCE, where I lead the early years pathway and support students both with the UEA taught element but also as a lead mentor for their school placements.

Alongside this I undertake additional teaching, consultancy and research work. I have taught across undergraduate and postgraduate courses, attend validation events as an expert panel member, led an evaluation of the Norwich Opportunity Area Community Communication Champions project and work as a co-investiogator on the LITTLE MINDS research and training project.

I am currently coordinating the Joyce Morris Early Years Literacy Forum, a public engagment initiative delivering a series of public lectures, the Reception Class Teacher Network and a two day national early years conference.

In addition I am deputy chair of TACTYC, a national association for the professional development of early years educators, and part of England's Early Years Coalition steering group.
