I am the NRC (national research coordinator) for the international reading survey PIRLS, which examines pupils' reading in 4th grade. In addition, I am focused on h how the world outside school can be integrated into teaching through the so-called scenario-based teaching. Finally, I am interested in IT and technology, multimodality and teacher competence development.

I primarily teach at the master's program in curriculem studies in Danish L1

I collaborate widely with both Danish and foreign universities, partly on reading and partly on scenario-based teaching. I am currently collaborating with Rudersdal Municipality on a study of the development of the joy of reading in primary and lower secondary school.
