Congratulations to Sara Ratner, Research Officer for the Learning in Families through Technology (LiFT) project, on joining The Centre for Independent Studies in Australia as an Adjunct Fellow: Digital Technologies in Education.

The Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) are an “independent think tank that brings together some of Australia’s sharpest policy brains to interrogate, test and figure out what the evidence says about some of the most pressing questions facing our country, questions that will determine our future.”

As a Fellow, Sara will be supporting CIS’s work to provide the Australian government with the input of independent voices, guided by evidence, to inform the public-policy discourse. Her first collaborative project involves the development of a digital numeracy screener for the early years to identify students at risk.

Glenn Fahey, Director of the Education Program said, “In acknowledgement of the excellent work Sara has already contributed to the Australian education landscape over many years at the local, state and national level, we are delighted to invite Sara to join CIS as our Adjunct Fellow – Digital Technologies in Education. We know that Sara’s valued expertise in the digital delivery of assessments at scale alongside her current research at the University of Oxford, will help offer valuable insights and contributions to our policy work and in particular, the development of the new national digital screening tool.”
