Indigenous Education Research Project being conducted by Dr Jennifer Barr
Dr Jennifer Barr is investigating the scope, nature and effectiveness of indigenous education projects in Anglican schools, as well as identifying organisations and foundations best able to assist in the AASN's possible future endeavours in this area.
Dr Barr's research includes making contact with a number of schools around the country and conducting a survey. Her report and recommendations for appropriate ways forward, will be presented at the 2009 AASN Conference in Adelaide, to be held from 14-15 August.
Travelling Scholar Project
Dr Trevor Cooling, Director of the UK Stapleford Centre and the ASSN Inaugural Travelling Scholar, toured Australia in August and September 2008.
Dr Cooling is the Project Director of the Transforming Lives Project, which exists to promote teaching as a Christian vocation. For more information on the Project, go to the Transforming Lives website.
Another project of the Stapleford Centre is an online educational resources website, developed in partnership with the Bible Society to help 16-19 year old students of English (and their teachers) to more fully understand the contextual background to their studies, particularly biblical and Christian material. For more information, go to the website www.crossref-it.info.
