Description of Research Activities:  Dr. Moreillon's research agenda focuses on the instructional partnership role of school librarians. (Recent study: Two Heads Are Better than One: Influencing Preservice Classroom Teachers' Understanding and Practice of Classroom-Library Collaboration: 
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/aasl/aaslpubsandjournals/slmrb/slmrcontents/volume11/moreillon.cfm). She is most interested in the impact of job-embedded professional development (through classroom-library coteaching) on student achievement, educator improvement, educational reform, and teacher retention. Through evidence-based practice related to learner outcomes and a qualitative lens that includes case study interviews, she is interested in discovering what factors increase the positive benefits to K-12 educators of on-site, just-in-time professional development.

Additional interests: digital literacy, early and family literacy, storytelling, children's and young adult literature
