Gemma Moss
Reader in Education at the Institute of Education,
University of London
Between 2004/6 Gemma directed the Interactive Whiteboards, Pedagogy and Pupil Performance Evaluation for the DfES. Based in the Centre for Critical Education Policy Research, this study looked at the impact of the SWE (Schools Whiteboard Expansion) funding stream on London secondary schools. The funding stream was designed to enable all London secondary schools to fully equip one core subject area (Maths, Science, English) with interactive whiteboards (IWBs).
Her other research interests include: Literacy and education policy; gender and literacy; children's informal literacy practices and their relationship to the English curriculum; how the shifting relationships between policy makers, practitioners and stakeholders are re-shaping the literacy curriculum; ethnographies of classroom practice. She has held a series of ESRC-funded research awards in these areas. Her forthcoming book, Literacy and Gender: Researching texts, contexts and readers, will be published this autumn by Routledge.
