Our Services

Improving Schools Australia can help each school to improve outcomes for students, including levels of achievement and wellbeing by providing tailored services related to school review processes, professional learning, and assistance with cyclical reviews.

Each school faces challenges to find the most effective ways of engaging students, staff, parents/caregivers and the local community in review conversations, for gathering and using data to inform evidence-based judgements, and for prioritising and allocating resources towards improving student learning.

Schools which are demonstrating success in this area have:

committed to creating a culture of continuing review and renewal with improved outcomes for students at the centre of those efforts
adopted cyclical review processes to enable demonstration, to their community and to relevant government authorities, of the quality and effectiveness of their educational provision, and their commitment to ongoing improvement.

The implementation of cyclical review processes must always be responsive to the different contexts of each school.

Schools must inquire deeper into their own practices, explore new ways to motivate their learners, make use of learning styles, introduce multiple intelligences, integrate learning, and teach thinking, and in the process discover the passion and moral purpose that makes teaching exciting and effective.

Michael Fullan

...a person and an organization must have goals, take actions to achieve those goals, gather evidence of achievement, study and reflect on the data and from that take actions again. Thus, they are in a continuous feedback spiral toward continuous improvement.

W. Edwards Deming

School improvement is not a mystery. Incremental, even dramatic, improvement is not only possible but probable under the right conditions.

Michael J. Schmoker

You cannot have a school where everyone is included in learning or develop a culture that is inclusive of learning unless you are also inclusive of all involved in the learning.
