Bio/Research
Dr. McGhie-Richmond is involved in collaborative research projects that include investigating the effects of SMART Board technology on the inclusion and achievement of students with special needs. She is a co-investigator on the SSHRC-funded research project, Characteristics of Effective Teaching Practices in Inclusive Classrooms. This research identifies the characteristics of teachers, schools, and school districts, as well as student outcomes that contribute to effective inclusion in Canadian classrooms. The results of this research will expand our understanding of teaching in complex and diverse classrooms with the intent of informing educational policy development and teacher education programs.
