Woolf Fisher Research Centre

All the people, all voices, all of those from the four winds. From Te Rerenga Wairua to Stewart Island in the South… greetings, greetings, greetings to you all!

Established in 1998 with funds from the Woolf Fisher Trust, the Woolf Fisher Research Centre is an internationally recognised research centre for the development of education and schooling success for diverse communities within New Zealand, with a particular focus on Māori and Pasifika communities.

The centre is located at The University of Auckland and is supported also by Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT).

In addition to promoting research-based educational interventions, the centre provides a vehicle for research expertise for local communities, contributes to developing teacher education programmes which are responsive to local needs and goals, promotes tertiary education pathways and contributes to research at MIT and The University of Auckland.

The results of recent research from the Woolf Fisher Research Centre have been published in the January 2009 edition of Reading Research Quarterly.
