Leask specialises in the knowledge required for teaching,[4] knowledge management in education and in building the evidence and knowledge base for teacher education.[5] Classroom practice has developed from her research on digital technologies and teacher knowledge [6] [7][8][9] and how digital technologies can be harnessed to support lifelong learning for teachers.[10]

Leask co-chairs the Mapping Educational Specialist knowHow Knowledge mobilization and Translational research initiative in education.[11]

She is a specialist in: teacher education[12][13] [14][15] [16] whole system change,[17] improvement and development across large systems [18][19] particularly through online networking and knowledge sharing[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]

She is also an elected board member of the UK peak organisations the Council of Subject Associations[29] and the British Educational Research Association and was elected by peers to the peak organisation the Universities Council for the Education of Teachers[30] and the panel assessing UK university educational research in 2008 (RAE 2008[31]). This follows a career as a teacher, researcher, academic and government policy officer, author and series editor of the main textbooks used for secondary teacher training in the UK.

Professional background

As a government employee and Head of Effective Practices and Research Dissemination section in the UK agency responsible for teacher training she was engaged in a major government funded knowledge management initiative for the education sector, focused on harnessing the opportunities of digital technologies to provide access to the latest research-informed knowledge so as to improve teacher knowledge and learner outcomes by providing just in time access to collective knowledge about best practices. She initiated the Teacher Training Resource Bank [32] holding research-informed resources on many thousands of topics relevant to the training of teachers. She then went to the Improvement and Development Agency for local government[33] to develop and launch with Steve Dale, Michael Norton and Dimple Rathod online communities of practice for local government. This has become the Knowledge Hub for the public sector.[34]
