Biography
Dr Anna Fletcher is the Associate Dean Teaching Quality in the School of Education at Federation University Australia. Dr Fletcher’s research expertise and publications address three areas: 1) student agency, achievement and self-efficacy within classroom assessment from a perspective of social cognitive theory; 2) practitioner research and teachers’ capacity building; and 3) the role of education to build human capital in place-based contexts.
Anna has successfully led and project managed a number of funded mixed-methods projects into teachers’ capacity building and place-based regional development through education, resulting in projects being completed within budget and on time.
Anna represents Federation University on the national consortium of fifteen universities developing and implementing the Graduate Teaching Performance Assessment (GTPA). She is a highly active researcher who has instigated research partnerships at local, regional, and international levels (particularly with Scandinavia).
