Keith Williams - Vice Chair of Governors, Chair of Health and Safety Committee, Chair of Quality of Education Committee

I am currently Chair of the Academy’s Quality of Education Committee having been a governor, first at Macclesfield College and then TMA, for about twelve years. I was privileged to enjoy a long career at the Open University and also the British Council. At the OU’s Technology Faculty I developed courses and innovative computer-based teaching. Subsequently I held leadership roles in the Technology Faculty and the OU’s international department. Involvement in an EU funded development of a methodology for Quality Assurance of online programmes expanded my interest in approaches to assessing teaching quality. Though contexts differ teaching must centre on learner needs and teachers must be supported by effective systems.

On a personal note I have lived in Macclesfield for nearly 25 years, my wife and I share three children and ten grandchildren.  Leisure interests include Macclesfield Civic Society, building projects, walking.
