In Spring 2021, Anette Emilson and Sergej were commissioned to work on a development project for Preschool Education Programme by the Board of Teacher Education. The aim of the project was to advise on any revisions that could further deepen students’ understanding of research, develop their writing skills as well as prepare them for doing a thesis work. Their report is used in the ongoing revision of the Preschool Education Programme.
In Spring 2019, Sergej led together with Birgitta Waters a school development project on disciplinary literacy and scaffolding in multilingual classrooms. The project was sponsored by the Swedish National Agency for Education.
