Effective Teaching and Learning Practices for Students with Learning Difficulties
Project Director: Dr Ken Rowe
Via a strong evidence-based research design, the purpose of this 2-year longitudinal research project is to: (1) identify 'effective' teaching and learning practices that 'add-value' to and maximise the literacy and numeracy outcomes of students with learning difficulties at Year levels P-9; (2) develop appropriate assessment and reporting tools; and (3) develop in-service professional development 'packages' for both education and health professionals - designed to effectively meet the literacy and numeracy learning needs of students identified with learning difficulties .
