Research Publications
The School of Education at the University of New England has initiated its School Research Series publication, designed to showcase the diversity of educational research conducted within our School. The audience for this publication is teachers in New South Wales schools. The intent is to not only showcase our research, but to place the findings in a relevant and helpful way to teachers. Through the series we also expect to attract postgraduate students to the School of Education, as information about our research programs is made known more widely.
