Jo Byrd serves as a Senior Lecturer and Assistant Head of Discipline in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) specializing in Primary Education and Early Years Teacher Standards (EYTS) at the College of Arts, Humanities and Education.
Her research critically examines the intersection of teacher education, decolonization, and digital innovation. Key interests include dismantling colonial frameworks in curricula, implementing technology for reflective practice, and addressing structural challenges in primary/early years teacher training. Her work bridges theoretical critique with practical pedagogical solutions.
Byrd's recent publications (2023, 2017) reveal a consistent focus on transformative teacher education—analyzing decolonizing agendas through philosophical lenses while tackling real-world technology adoption barriers. This dual emphasis positions her at the forefront of socially conscious educational reform and digital pedagogy.
