Bio
Jo-Anne Reid is Professor of Education and Associate Dean, Teacher Education in the Faculty of Education, Charles Sturt University. She began her career teaching Secondary English, and has a long-standing involvement in teacher education. She is interested in the potential of post-structuralist theories of practice for rethinking education and diversity in post-modern society. She has been continuously in receipt of research funding for the past fifteen years (through University and National Competitive Grants) over the past fifteen years, several of which have focussed on English teaching, and teacher education, including overseas-born and educated non-native English-speaking teachers, and the career pathways of indigenous teachers, literacy and the environment and rural teacher education.
She has published a range of books and articles on curriculum, classroom practice and research, both alone and in collaboration with others. Among her publications are Small Group Learning in the Classroom (1982), Shaping Up Nicely: The Formation of Schoolgirls and Schoolboys in the First Month of School (1994), 100 Children Go to School (1998) and 100 children turn 10 (2002), Managing (Small Group) Learning (2002) and Literacies in Place (2007).
