Professional Profile

Dayle currently lectures in primary science and mathematics initial teacher education at Victoria University of Wellington. She is also programme director for the Graduate Diploma of Teaching (Primary) at Victoria University.

Dayle has been contracted by CORE Education to deliver professional development in primary science education to the Royal Society Primary Teacher Fellows.

Before moving to Victoria University, Dayle was deputy principal at a local Wellington primary school where she was teacher in charge of science (among other things). Dayle trained as a primary teacher after raising her family. In an earlier life she majored in biochemistry at Victoria University and spent eight years working as a scientist for the Department of Health in their communicable disease laboratories at Kenepuru, in the field of antimicrobial susceptibility, investigating transmission of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria.
