Acknowledgements

The researchers from CORE Education (Vince Ham, Michael Winter, and Gina Revill) and from NZCER (Sally Boyd and Sue McDowall) thank all those involved in this project. First, and most importantly, we thank the 2009 e-fellows for welcoming us into their classrooms and sharing their expertise, ideas, and experiences with us. We thank the e-fellows’ schools for allowing us to visit and for supporting the e-fellow projects, and we thank the students for their interest, enthusiasm, and forthright contributions to focus group discussions.

Our thanks go to the members of our advisory panel (Ronnie Davey, Jo Fletcher, Faithe Hanrahan, Roka Teepa, and Noeline Wright) and to the NZCER project sponsor, Rosemary Hipkins, for their feedback on the research design, instruments, and report.

We acknowledge the other CORE Education and NZCER staff involved in this project. Information Services support was provided by Beverley Thompson and Susan Tompkinson who conducted searches for reference material. Our thanks go to Rochelle McAllister who coordinated flights, accommodation, meeting venues, and catering for the researchers and e-fellows; to Christine Williams who formatted this report; and to Natasha Edwards for proofreading.
