Other research focuses on the improvement of teaching and learning, on behaviour disorders and augmentative communication. Recent policy studies have identified issues in the education of adolescent girls with disabilities. Other major research programs include the Higher Education Policy Project which has resulted in many publications by staff and students. This research has been supported by a library of policy and other documents available for use by all staff and students. Staff in the School of Education currently hold nine large ARC grants.
Staff are also active on the editorial boards of many national and international research journals.
Journals edited within the School are the International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, the Journal of Cognitive Education and the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy. The Research and Postgraduate Committee of the School of Education supports postgraduate research through funding and policy making, and through the organisation of a variety of research and thesis workshops, seminars and conferences. Student representatives on the Research and Postgraduate Committee edit Gradcontacts, a newsletter for communication among all staff and postgraduate students.
