Noella Mackenzie has forwarded information about her two recent grants:
0-3 LITERACY PROJECT: 2015
Collaborator: Dr Laura Piazza
This project addresses a gap in early literacy research by examining E.C Educators and parents understandings of how to support the literacy learning and in particular the emergent writing, of children 3 years and younger. Here is an article from the Daily Advertiser about the grant http://www.dailyadvertiser.com.au/story/3112559/encourage-your-child-to-scribble

UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORTING YOUNG
WRITERS: 2015
Associate researchers: C Phillips and M Bishop (VCAA).
Associate researchers: C Phillips and M Bishop (VCAA).
This project
addresses an important concern for Australia in current times given that
‘literacy under-achievement has high social and economic costs’ (Department of
Education, Science and Training, 2005, p. 7). The literacy debates to date have
focused almost completely on reading and ignored the important role of writing
in literacy development.
The project: examines approaches to the teaching of writing in the final year of preschool and the first year of school; measures the impact of different approaches to teaching young writers and investigates the role of children’s drawing in early writing instruction. This study has the potential to significantly influence approaches to the teaching of writing in the first year of formal schooling and by extension improve learning opportunities for students.
Funding: This project is a collaboration project funded by Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA). The VCAA approached me to speak about my early writing research at a Twilight Seminar in Sept 2014 ($10,000 + travel costs) this led to this collaborative project. Funding - $25,000 (to cover my costs) + costs associated with teacher release for 16 teacher participants (further $25,000) and in-kind support associated with the two associate researchers.
