Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original study of the Ramsay Committee report entitled "Future Directions for Secondary Education in the Northern Territory" (the "Secondary Review") was presented in December 2004 at the ANZCIES National Conference in Melbourne. This was prior to the Northern Territory Government deciding how many of the recommendations of the "Secondary Review" would be implemented and what additional measures would be taken to improve secondary education in the Northern Territory. In February 2005, the Northern Territory Labor Government stated its plans for secondary education. On 18 June, 2005, there was a Northern Territory election in which the main features of the Labor manifesto were economic management, health and education. The Labor government was returned with a greatly increased majority. Currently many features of the government's educational policy are in the early stages of implementation. It should be noted that websites formerly under the "priority education" banner have been replaced by sites labelled "betterschools." The full text of the "Secondary Review" is still available online as indicated in the references. This paper provides information about the Northern Territory and the "Secondary Review," the reactions of different interest groups to the "Secondary Review," specific issues of middle schools, leaning precincts, Indigenous education, the Northern Territory Open Education Centre and senior secondary education. The study of secondary schools in the Northern Territory continues, though the author of this paper remains disappointed that more has not done in Indigenous education by the Northern Territory Government. Terms of Reference are appended.

Download or read book Education Reform The Unwinding of Intelligence and Creativity written by Des Griffin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pays special attention to the impact that a student's early childhood and socioeconomic status has on his or her educational achievement. It argues that discussions of education reform need a broader scope, one that encompasses a student's background as well as standardized testing, merit pay for teachers, and other issues regarding the quality of the teaching and learning. Education Reform: the Unwinding of Intelligence and Creativity features cases and examples from schools in Australia, the USA, and Britain. It offers a breadth of coverage, from early childhood to effective teaching and learning to teacher pay and conditions, standardized testing and public and private (independent) schooling and universities as well as creativity. It also includes summaries of educational policies in many developed countries. Reforms which emphasize concern for early childhood, school leadership and respect for teachers are contrasted with ones based on standardized tests, private schools and sacking bad teachers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenge for the Northern Territory Government is to improve school outcomes generally and not just those of secondary school. Improving secondary school outcomes is also a matter of improving primary school outcomes. To that extent, the 'Future Directions for Secondary Education' Report had to look at a broader canvas than secondary school education. The Report presents a comprehensive plan for change that includes many positive suggestions and recommendations such as those relating to improved teaching and learning practices and the approach to Indigenous education. This publication evaluates the report. The plan contains several weaknesses and omissions. A major flaw is the undue emphasis given to structural change in school governance and management, a proposal which is not justified by the research evidence and which is likely to detract from the implementation of more effective ways to improve student outcomes.

Download or read book History of Bilingual Education in the Northern Territory written by Brian Clive Devlin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first detailed history of the Bilingual Education Program in the Northern Territory of Australia. This ambitious and innovative program began in 1973 and at different times it operated in English and 19 Aboriginal languages in 29 very remote schools. The book draws together the grassroots perspectives of Indigenous and non-Indigenous practitioners and researchers. Each chapter is based on rich practitioner experience, capturing bottom-up aspirations, achievements and reflections on this innovative, yet largely undocumented language and education program. The volume also makes use of a significant collection of ‘grey literature’ documents to trace the history of the program. An ethnographic approach has been used to integrate practitioner accounts into the contexts of broader social and political forces, education policy decisions and on-the-ground actions. Language in education policy is viewed at multiple, intersecting levels: from the interactions of individuals, communities of practice and bureaucracy, to national and global forces. The book offers valuable insights as it examines in detail the policy settings that helped and hindered bilingual education in the context of minority language rights in Australia and elsewhere.
