Rate My Professor Anne Bellert

Bellert’s research centers on inclusive education, with a focus on developing automaticity in basic academic skills such as literacy and numeracy for students with learning difficulties. Her interests encompass reducing cognitive load, working memory dynamics, and interventions like QuickSmart Numeracy, which yield effect sizes of 0.60 to 0.94, indicating two to three years' growth in one year. Notable publications include 'Sustainable Learning' (2015, cited 116 times), 'QuickSmart: A basic academic skills intervention for middle school students with learning difficulties' (2007, 97 citations), 'Difficulties in reading comprehension for students with learning disabilities' (2004, 92 citations), 'Still ‘minding the gap’ sixteen years later: (re)storying pro-environmental behaviour' (2018, 90 citations), and contributions to 'Responsive Teaching for Sustainable Learning: A Framework for Inclusive Education' (2023). In 2008, she received the Learning Difficulties Australia Student Award for 'Narrowing the gap: a report on the QuickSmart mathematics intervention.' Her contributions promote sustainable learning—learning for all, teaching that matters, and learning that lasts—through evidence-based practices.
