Education Research Seminar: Exceptional Teaching for Disadvantaged Schools
The Australian National Exceptional Teachers for Disadvantaged Schools (NETDS) program began in 2009 at the Queensland University of Technology and now, with major philanthropic support, is delivered at 7 universities across Australia. The program has been widely acknowledged as having systemic ‘real world’ impact on Initial Teacher Education in the recent Teacher Education Ministerial Advisory Group Action Now: Classroom Ready Teachers report (2015).
This seminar will explain the program and its impact on initial teacher education programs in Australia and internationally. We will also engage in a conversation around some of the complexities of the program including i) negotiating support from the corporate and philanthropic sector;? ii) resisting misinterpreted co-option into debates about pathways into teaching and quality teaching.
