PARTNERSHIP SCHOOLS

We support the diverse needs of schools around Australia

Our programs are used by public, private, and independent schools in urban,
regional, and remote areas across Australia. These schools range from those just
starting on their improvement journey to top-performing schools.

Our programs are used by teachers with a range of expertise and experience –
teachers at the beginning of their career or those with years of experience.

All students can learn when they are being taught effectively with an
appropriate curriculum.

Our programs are successful with students from diverse, advantaged and
disadvantaged backgrounds as well as those with learning disabilities or
difficulties and those who are simply not making enough progress.

child. Sign up today to access your free materials.

SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS


WARRUWI SCHOOL

In 2014, the Warruwi School introduced Direct Instruction (DI) at all year
levels but wanted more support with implementation.
In 2015, Warruwi joined Good to Great Schools Australia’s Literacy in Remote
Schools Program, which is funded by the Australian Government.
The School appointed an instruction coach to work with teachers and leadership
to ensure the behaviour management components were fully embedded.
GGSA assigned a school improvement coach to work with Warruwi’s school
leadership on their improvement journey.
Warruwi struggled with low student attendance, but its students exceeded the
program’s average rate of student lesson progress and mastery. Warruwi’s success
in the program can be attributed to key implementation factors including
providing 2.5 hours of literacy instruction per day and having high
instructional leadership.


ST. MARY STAR OF THE SEA CATHOLIC SCHOOL, CARNARVON

In 2014, in response to stagnated student results, St. Mary’s introduced
Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI). The school had researched and studied the
work of internationally respected educationalist Professor John Hattie.

St. Mary’s signed up for Good to Great Schools Australia’s Literacy in Remote
Schools Program, which is funded by the Australian Government. The school’s
primary teachers attended the pre-training and were provided with GGSA’s
literacy curriculum. The school was also allocated a GGSA coach to provide
implementation support.


CAPE YORK ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIAN ACADEMY

The Cape York Aboriginal Australian Academy (CYAAA) is a small group of remote
Indigenous schools that implement:

 * effective teaching
 * the 8 Cycles of School Practice
 * teacher and leadership development
 * parent and family engagement to lift attendance and student readiness.

The number of CYAAA students reaching grade level, achieving the top NAPLAN
national level and completing secondary school is increasing year on year.

“This beautiful young girl from our Cape York Academy received Direct
Instruction as a prep student. She is now putting together the magical pieces of
the reading jigsaw. She is only four years old and on the way to reading by the
time she starts her first year of primary school.”
