Main, Susan; Konza, Deslea; Hackling, Mark; Lock, Graeme – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2020

This paper explores teachers' engagement with a continuing professional learning…

Munro, John – Australian Journal of Learning Difficulties, 2017
Reading difficulties may have multiple causes. Effective approaches to reading intervention need to target the specific causes for individual readers.

The inequity of streaming as a method of organising classes was established by research conducted in the 1960s and 1970s. While the practice produces small advantages for limited groups of students, it hinders the academic and social advancement of the majority. Although streaming has declined, new forms of achievement grouping have emerged, with…
