Her background is in psychology and she is a graduate member of the British Psychology Society.

Dr McLellan enjoys working collaboratively with schools to develop and refine strategies that make a real difference to teaching and learning in the classroom and is interested in teacher learning. She coordinates the long-standing SUPER network which is a partnership between the Faculty of Education and local schools that conducts research together that mutually benefits all partners.

Other partnership work in Kazakhstan involved a capacity-building research project focusing on student wellbeing.
