This presentation reports on an ongoing initiative in the North Coast Institute (NCI) to bridge the gap between learning theory/research and teaching practice. Building on a Reframing the Future project in 2004, the NCI collaborated with Southern Cross University to encourage teachers to access, read, evaluate and apply selections from the growing body of relevant literature around work based learning. The aims of this project were threefold: (1) to identify the most relevant and useful research literature; (2) to present it in accessible ways that invite engagement; (3) to investigate which strategies work for teachers to evaluate and use the material to support teaching and learning. In sharing the findings of this initiative, it is hoped to trigger discussion among delegates about strategies that they have used/could use to encourage teachers to connect with research findings that will enhance teaching, learning and assessment practice.
