Nine projects have received funding in the Teaching and Learning Research Initiative’s 2009 funding round.
The Teaching and Learning Research Initiative (TLRI) was set up by the government in 2003 and has funding of $1.9 million in 2009. The fund aims to build knowledge about teaching and learning that will lead to significantly improved outcomes for learners.
Expressions of interests for the 2009 funding round closed in May. A selection panel drew up a shortlist of applicants, who submitted a full proposal. The fund is open to the early childhood, school and post-school sectors.
The New Zealand Council for Educational Research co-ordinates the fund and its associated research programme.
