Biography: Deborah Prescott

[Deborah Prescott]

I am currently living on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait between far north Queensland and Papua New Guinea. I just started coordinating the Bachelor of Education (Secondary) for James Cook University here on TI. I taught adult literacy and ESL for 15 years before this. My husband and I lived and worked in various South Pacific countries.

I want to be able to help my student teachers as much as I can so I am trying to choose high quality development opportunities for me and for them. I have found forums to be very useful for sharing ideas when we are in a remote and rural place like Thursday Island.
