Le Fevre trained as a teacher in
Palmerston North at the same time as undertaking a
Bachelor of Education at
Massey University. Le Fevre says that during her teacher training, she was different to her peers as her high school experience had not been a good one, and she wanted to change the system. "I... held the strong view that education and schooling needed to change. High school hadn’t worked well for me or for many other young people at that time. I wasn’t interested in maintaining the status quo." Le Fevre then joined the faculty of
Washington State University, where she continued her interest in using video to improve practice: "I would video myself teaching my education courses and the students would analyse and critique me! This was when I really realised the importance of vulnerability, of being willing to take risks in order to learn and change." Le Fevre has co-authored two books,
Leading powerful professional learning: Responding to complexity with adaptive expertise and
Leading professional learning: Practical strategies for impact in schools with
Helen Timperley, Fiona Ell and Kaye Twyford (2019). == Selected works ==
