Biography
Claire joined the School for Social and Policy Research in October 1996 (see research with SSPR below). Prior to this she worked as a teacher in the Remote Area Teacher Education Program at Tropical North Qld TAFE (1992 – 1996). In 2004 and 2005 Claire completed a research project for her Master of Education (TESOL) where she investigated effective flexible delivery strategies, including the use of technology, to meet the needs of Diploma of Education (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) RATEP students. Claire developed and facilitated a model of blended delivery that used technology to meet the diverse language and learning needs of the Diploma of Education students. In 2006 a record 43 Diploma of Education (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) students graduated. Claire has also worked as a primary school teacher in Melbourne, the Philippines, remote Western Australia and Cairns.

National Accelerated Literacy Program (NALP)
Evaluation and improvement (Phase 2)
Project team: Tess Lea; Gary Robinson; Claire Bartlett; Susan Emmett; James Cooper; Bruce Dunn; Jenni Wolgemuth; Perry Morrison; Bill Tyler; Bill Louden; Judith Rivalland; NALP project staff as required
Partner(s): DEET/DEST
Funding: Incorporated within wider NALP project
Timeframe: 2007-2008
Stage 2 of the Evaluation of Accelerated Literacy Program will be undertaken during 2007 and 2008. It will focus on the degree to which the program implementation has achieved changes in teaching practice in participating schools, the identification of factors responsible for effective teaching based on the AL methodology, and the outcomes of the program in terms of student progress.
Designing online learning communities for the professional development of Accelerated Literacy teachers
Project team: Claire Bartlett, Helen Harper, Jenni Wolgemuth
Partner(s): NT DEET
Funding: DEET/DEST
The proposed study aims to develop a local instruction theory to guide the design and facilitation of cost and instructionally effective professional learning for Accelerated Literacy teachers in the Northern Territory who have returned to their workplace after attending an intensive Accelerated Literacy professional learning workshop. This will be achieved through a systematic and rigorous iterative design process which will guide the design and facilitation of an online learning community.
This project will also provide on the job Accelerated Literacy professional learning to isolated AL teachers. It is anticipated that this study will lead to larger studies to support the progressive scaling up of online professional learning communities for the growing number of remote and professionally isolated Accelerated Literacy teachers throughout Australia.
As the number of Accelerated Literacy teachers in all sectors continues to grow, there is a real need to develop an evidence base to inform the design and implementation of ongoing professional learning that is accessible to all Accelerated Literacy teachers, regardless of location. This research will use interactive technology to support the facilitation of an online professional learning community that is accessible to all teachers and will result in significant changes in the way professional learning is being delivered in remote, rural and regional educational contexts.
