Teachers, school leaders, educational consultants and systems personnel now have the opportunity to participate in a Turnaround Hub – where they will experience a teacher inquiry approach to learning. Working in research projects, they will explore effective ways to address educational disadvantage, based on the groundbreaking work that has been done in the Connecting Lives and Learning project.

Some of the principles that underpin this work are shown in the diagram below.

Alternatively, first familiarise yourself with Turnaround teaching, learning and outcomes by undertaking a one or two-day workshop. School leaders and teachers who participate in the Turnaround workshops will be challenged to investigate how teachers’ understanding of their students’ lives both in and outside of school can be used to improve teaching and learning. Their learning will be informed by the results from CLL – the first generation of the Turnaround project – where 30 teachers, working in challenging schools with over 1000 students, researched their practice in collaboration with researchers from the University of South Australia. The workshops will be presented by Andrew Bills, the ANSN project co-ordinator, who is also Research Fellow – CLL and Public Purposes project, Division of Education Arts and Social Sciences at the University of South Australia.
