Tori Trajanovski

PhD Student focusing on the gaps between teacher training programs and practical teaching. My research investigates how beginning teachers navigate the realities of writing and enacting Individual Education Plans (IEP). My Masters thesis examined gender discourses and ideologies present in contemporary primary education and how teachers address students based on gender during managerial (eg., IEP writing) and instructional times.

As a teacher, my responsibilities include writing and enacting Individual Education Plans for students and liaising with stakeholders (parents, school special education team). In order to best serve students and parents, I examined a breadth of research to inform my practice.
