Biography
Jacqueline D'warte completed her undergraduate studies and a Masters of Education at Sydney University. She has also undertaken postgraduate courses in TESOL at the University of Technology Sydney. Jacqueline has a Ph.D. from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), School of Education and Information Studies. Jacqueline's research interests include exploring connections between language, identity and learning and how these influence educational equity, teacher and student expectations and teacher practice in culturally and linguistically diverse educational settings. Jacqueline is informed by critical sociocultural theory and critical anthropological and sociological perspectives. She employs and a range of qualitative methodologies, including participatory research, ethnography, design research and visual methodologies. Jacqueline’s recent research involves students in primary and high school in being ethnographers of their own language and literacy practices. This research builds on the rich linguistic and cultural diversity in Australian classrooms by engaging young people in exploring how they use, change, invent and reinvent language and literacy practices in new and interesting ways. Jacqueline's recent research explores the linguistic and cultural 'funds of knowledge' of Pre-Service Teachers and includes a program of research associated with the WSU Exceptional Teaching for Exceptional Schools (ETES) program (formally NETDS), focused on teaching and leadership positions in low SES schools.
Jacqueline has 15 years of K-12 teaching experience in Australia, the United Kingdom, and India. She began her career as an elementary school teacher teaching a range of grades and specializing in ESL and literacy development. Jacqueline has written and edited literacy materials for inclusion in professional development packages and curriculum documents for Australian Public Schools in New South Wales (NSW). Jacqueline has been a Lecturer at the University of California, Irvine and at the University of California, Los Angeles and was involved in both, curriculum and staff development in the U.S., working on a variety of interdisciplinary language and literacy projects. Jacqueline was involved in training and scoring performance assessments for Californian Teachers and working on large-scale research projects such as Literacy in the History Classroom. Jacqueline also had a continuing role as a Literacy Consultant for the New York City Public Schools.
