We value the expertise and experience of teachers and leaders, and so we design programs that are consistent with the Department for Education's advice about what works best for students.
Our programs reflect the:
- School Improvement Planning model
- Australian Curriculum
- Teaching for Effective Learning framework
- best advice papers
- literacy and numeracy guidebooks.
