CSTL Research Retreat April 9 and 10, 2005

Purpose

The first national research retreat in teacher librarianship has been planned and organised by The Centre for Studies in Teacher Librarianship (CSTL) at Charles Sturt University in cooperation with the Australian School Library Association (ASLA).  This retreat will provide an opportunity for practising teacher librarians and academics to present research, discuss how to conduct research, and consider how to apply research findings. Following the recent publication of the Impact of School Libraries on Student Achievement: A Review of the Research by Michele Lonsdale, Australian Council for Educational Research, for ASLA (http://www.asla.org.au/research/) and the current interest in evidence based practice and action research by those active in the teacher librarianship field, the time is right for beginning this important national research conversation.

 Goals 

• to provide an opportunity for practitioners and researchers to meet and discuss teacher librarianship research
• to facilitate development of a community of research practice
• to lay the groundwork for continuing conversations about research
• to raise the profile of research in the area of teacher librarianship
• to develop a synergy based on research knowledge and practice.
