Current projects

  • Early numeracy: examining the development of early numeracy and how students experiencing difficulties learning engage with early numeracy (e.g., number sense), and the quality of instruction required to assist these students acquire early numeracy skills, knowledge and understanding.
  • Teacher education: Examination of how pre-service and in-service teachers construct knowledge, skills and values in the area of special and inclusive education.
  • Teacher attitudes to inclusion - International perspectives: Examination of attitudes of students, teachers and parents towards education of students with a disability in the mainstream classroom. Comparative data has been collected across years, and countries (e.g., China, Czech Republic, Singapore).
  • Literacy support: Examination of a range of variables (e.g. teacher attitudes, professional knowledge) relating to the development of literacy sills for students experiencing difficulties learning (e.g., learning support, handwriting).
  • Off to a Good Start: Enhancing Early Reading Skills for All Thai Children Project (Australia-Thailand Institute)
