Improving Science Literacy Hub
International research (TIMMS) indicates that fewer than half of Australian Year 4 teachers say they feel well prepared to teach Year 4 Science. It therefore comes as no surprise that the improvement of student outcomes in Science Literacy has been established by education authorities as a target in 2009.
ANSN Hubs, currently being planned for all states and territories across Australia, will bring together research, theories of learning and practical activities in this area of education. The aim is to help educators make meaningful and sustainable changes in their practice and also find ways to engage their communities in a science curriculum, assessment and pedagogy journey.

Improving Science Literacy Hub
2009 has been targeted by education authorities as a year to improve literacy, numeracy and science outcomes for students in Australian schools.
For achievement levels to improve in our classrooms. teachers need to make changes to their current practices. Teachers not only need to have a deep knowledge of the subjects they teach, but they also need to know how students learn and how best to develop and nurture a culture and disposition for learning that is expected of independent thinkers in the 21st century.
