Sandra Williamson-Leadley is a Senior Lecturer and the Programme Coordinator for the GradDip/PGDip/MTchLn (Primary) in the Faculty of Education. She was a Primary school teacher for 17 years before becoming a staff member at the University of Otago College of Education and then at the University of Canterbury.

She is a Professional Practice Lecturer and works with undergraduate and graduate/postgraduate students. She is also a supervisor for MEd and EdD/Ph.D. students. Dr. Williamson-Leadley’s doctoral research focused on New Zealand primary school teachers' ICT professional development and classroom practices. Her other research activities have included exploring the use of tablet technology for assessment in mathematics; investigating mainstream primary teachers' use of digital technology to support their indigenous students' learning and the lessons that can be learned from teachers' use of digital technology in indigenous schools. This has also led to the development of interest in indigenous research methodologies. Her research interests include the preparation of pre-service teachers, technology education, teachers’ classroom practices using digital technology, and using digital technology to support indigenous students.
