Lisa McLean has just finished her secondment as business manager for the
Research Institute for Professional Practice, Learning and Education (RIPPLE). I have appreciated her friendly support and guidance about budgets, contracts, and procedures for our current research projects:
- McLeod,
S., Baker, E. M., McCormack, J. M., Wren, Y. E. & Roulstone, S. E. (2013-2015). A sound start:
Innovative technology to promote speech and pre-literacy skills in at-risk preschoolers
(DP130102545). Australian Research
Council (ARC) Discovery Grant. ($284,551)
- McLeod,
S., Wren, Y., Baker, E., McCormack, J., Crowe, K., Masso, S., & Roulstone,
S. (2013-2015). First-phase support for preschool children with speech and
phonological awareness difficulties in NSW DEC preschools. New South Wales Department of Education and Communities Grant
($35,000).
- McLeod,
S. (2009-2013). Speaking my language: International
speech acquisition in Australia.
Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship (FT0990588). ($686,400)
While most of the RIPPLE staff work from the Wagga Wagga campus, Lisa is based on my home campus in Bathurst - so I have enjoyed having Lisa close by.
