  1. School-To-Work Workshop STW Coordinators Transition Advisors

  2. STW in 2010. • We began the process of explicitly linking STW and Office of Schools priority areas. 47 schools state that STW is part of the schools management plan- 2011 will be making those links stronger and more explicit across the school and its community • 35 schools have adopted a Career and Transition team approach • WSR 11 trained Transition Advisers • 26 schools used the Student Pathways Survey predominantly with Year 10.

  3. Reflections from the 2010 process • Projects / activities did not link project outcomes to STW plan or the schools management plan • Insufficient detail

  4. What is Action Research? • Action research can be described as a family of research methodologies which pursue action (or change) and research (or understanding) at the same time. In most of its forms it does this by: • using a cyclic or spiral process which alternates between action and critical reflection and •  in the later cycles, continuously refining methods, data and interpretation in the light of the understanding developed in the earlier cycles. • Dick, Bob (1999)  What is action research? Available on line at http://www.scu.edu.au/schools/gcm/ar/whatisar.html

  5. Action Research : • Deals with your problems not someone else’s • Can start now or whenever you are ready and will give immediate results • Promotes the strengthening of relationships between staff • Provides schools with alternate ways of viewing and approaching educational questions and subsequently a new way of examining their own practices.
