Collaboration with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway

The centre has a developing collaboration with NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) through research and publication collaborations. The Department of Teacher Education at NTNU is Norway’s largest educational research environment, focusing on understanding teaching and learning, and collaborating with schools and districts to build capacity for excellence in education.

One of the centre’s Associate Directors, Associate Professor Mei Lai, is leading a research project involving Professor Henning Fjørtoft from NTNU to redesign how data from reading assessments are presented and discussed with teachers. There have also been knowledge exchanges with Professor Fjørtoft visiting the centre in 2017. Associate Professor Lai will be a visiting academic at NTNU in May 2020, and will deliver two key addresses, one public and the second to the university on the use of data in educational interventions for equity. Professor Fjørtoft and Associate Professor Lai are also co-chairs International for Division H, American Educational Research Association (2019-2020).
