'Ken was an English teacher from 1952 to 1963 in high schools in NSW, the ACT and the UK, and then Subject Head from 1964 to 1970 in NSW schools. From 1971 until his retirement in 1990, Ken taught in the Diploma of Education program at Sydney University, as co-ordinator of English Curriculum from 1972 and Senior Lecturer from 1980. It was here that he gained an outstanding reputation as a teacher educator and as a teacher himself in university classrooms.' (English in Australia Volume 55 Number 2 • 2020)
