Funded Activity Summary

On Becoming a Middle School Teacher: Reclaiming the Wasteland of the Middle Years of Schooling. This project aims to investigate how teachers in Australian government schools committed to the middle years of schooling (ages 14-16), are 'reinventing' their teaching in the current policy reform context. The research will explore how policies support or hinder teachers in establishing and sustaining educative relationships with young adolescents. Detailed ethnographic case studies will examine how teachers restructure and reculture what schools do to better serve students who are increasingly 'at risk'. The project will provide crucial understandings into the theory, policy and practice of teaching necessary to enable all young adolescents to experience a rewarding high school education.
