Very pleased @DrLSHammond will be delivering the Ann D Clark Lecture for @CatholicEdParra in 2026 as part of our Uplift Speaker Series. Grounded in the evidence-base, this presentation explores the practical implications for school leadership and classroom instruction #Uplift

This February, I’ll be collaborating with @AmplifyInc to support educators across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane as we dive deep into the research behind how young students learn to read and, more importantly, how that evidence translates into everyday teaching decisions. Following my keynote, the Amplify team will lead a hands-on session focused on explicit, systematic instructional approaches to ensure every learner gets the support they need. If evidence-based reading instruction is a priority in your work, I’d love for you to join us! These events are free to attend, but places are limited. Register here: amplify.com/Australia

We are recruiting for a Research Assistant to be part of a collaboration between the @latrobe #SOLARLab and @EdResearchAU. The project investigates the impact of school-based coaching alongside online professional learning courses on early years’ teacher practice and student outcomes. The successful candidate will support the lead investigators and the wider project team to collate, analyse and contribute to the interpretation of research data. Applications close 15 February 2026. Fixed Term until 31/7/26 (possibility of an extension) Part time 0.6FTE Campus Independent Details here: careers.pageuppeople.com/533…
