Dr Joanne Casey is an educational practitioner and researcher. She has worked in a range of contexts to support the implementation of system and school-based improvement initiatives. An advocate for contextual, flexible, research-based approaches, she draws on her teaching, coaching, mentoring and leading work in three sectors of education (Government, Catholic and Independent) to bridge and boundary cross research, policy and practice. Her knowledge is also underpinned by her extensive experience in primary, secondary and tertiary settings. 

Joanne is keenly interested in organisational change and the impact that has on both the individual and the organisation. Her doctoral research focused on associations among cognitive limitations for interactions, collaboration as an improvement strategy, and school silo mentality. Joanne continues to explore how these findings may contribute further to addressing the changing and evolving nature of educator’s work. More specifically, how this work is usually among multiple demands vying for attention, often simultaneously, in the time available.
