University Lecturer in Early Childhood Education since January 2001.
Lecturer and Tutor . Masters' Program in Education, offered in the Caribbean by the University of Sheffield, England
Educational Consultant. I design and implement training workshops for teachers,parents and others.

I also have been a high school teacher for many years and implemented my own after school programs for students.
During my lecturing and tutoring I have observed the difficulties students have in organising and writing research papers and the type of assistance and guidance that they need.
As a consultant and counselor, I have gained valuable insights into the challenges faced by parents, teachers and students.

I have self-published a booklet for teachers called "Students really want to learn" and another for everyone called "A joyful place called school".
My other publications can be viewed online at www.selfhelpguides.com/authors/marilyn_atherley/index.php3
I also have 2 books- 'Learning to Feel and Feeling to Learn' (all about Social and Emotional Learning) and 'Parenting is a joy' at www.lulu.com/marilynrobb
