Partnerships

Partnerships are central to the work of the School of Education and we place immense value on our collaborative working relationships with a range of key partners, including Australian and international universities, schools, teachers, principals, professional organizations, and the wider community served by our University. We are continually seeking ways to extend our collaborative work with existing partners and to develop mutually beneficial and productive relationships with new partners.

Schools are essential partners in our work as a provider of teacher education. However, our partnerships with schools go beyond the hosting of students on teaching experience placements. We view our relationships with schools as way of fostering mutually beneficial research projects and a channel for listening and responding to the professional development needs of teachers. Our current partnerships with schools seek to build on and extend the University's work with schools serving low socioeconomic communities through its ASPIRE program, as well as to consolidate and extend our long-standing relationships with local schools.
