The Longitudinal Literacy and Numeracy Study for Indigenous Students (ILLANS) tracked the growth in literacy and numeracy skills of a group of Indigenous students from 27 schools across Australia from the beginning of primary school until the end of Year 6. At the time the study was conceived, longitudinal studies on the school achievement of Indigenous students were comparatively rare.

Teaching Future Teachers: A Model Workshop For Doctoral Education, Julia Pryce Dec 2010

Teaching Future Teachers: A Model Workshop For Doctoral Education, Julia Pryce
