ACER UPDATE
Third Wave Intervention Strategies
ACER has been awarded the contract to investigate effective 'Third Wave' Intervention Strategies for Students with Learning Difficulties who are in Mainstream Schools in Years 4, 5 and 6. The two-year project is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST). It will be conducted by ACER's Learning Processes research program led by Dr Ken Rowe.
School non-attendance research paper
ACER has been asked to prepare a short paper on school non-attendance by the Dusseldorp Skills Foundation (DSF). It will update an earlier paper prepared by John Ainley and Michelle Lonsdale in 2000 entitled Non-attendance at School. It is hoped to capture changes in patterns of absences and suspensions since then, alongside some general information about participation rates, focusing mainly on the middle years of schooling . There will also be comparisons of patterns of non-attendance and participation in schooling between Australia and whatever overseas countries can be found to publish such data, and review the central policy implications arising from these findings.
International Test Users' Conference 2004
ACER is conducting the International Test Users' Conference 2004: Assessing Intelligence, Emotion and Behaviour at the Hilton on the Park in Melbourne on 19-20 July.
