023413 Education Study 3: Changing Schools

This subject seeks to provide student teachers with an understanding of change in schools. Students critically examine the processes involved in successful innovation based on current research in the field and actual cases in NSW education. In doing so, they develop the skills and knowledge appropriate for seeking and implementing change in schools. The approach taken by this subject rests on an acknowledgment that educational situations are dynamic and that continual modification of one's approach is part of the professional role of the teacher and the continued effectiveness of the school.
