Dr Gail Brown is our Principal Instructional Researcher, an experienced educator with wide experience in Education, Special Education and Teacher Professional Learning. Years of teaching experiences in schools and universities enable Gail to design effective academic, behavioural and social interventions that have made a difference in the lives of children, parents, teachers and school leaders.

Over 20 years ago, Gail’s doctoral research made significant differences in Grade 5 students’ reading fluency and comprehension, now extends to Grades 2-6 students and Grades 7-9 students with special education needs. Along with Teacher Professional Learning, this has improved student literacy and empowers teachers with their future students.

As a mother and grandmother, Gail has supported her children and grandchildren, enabling empathy to support others with children or grandchildren to improve literacy and ensure brighter futures.
