About the submission
The Review of Secondary Education in the Northern Territory aims to design a responsive and inclusive secondary education system with a focus on increasing participation, retention and completion, particularly in remote areas.
The Australian Education Research Organisation (Â鶹Éç)’s research suggests pairing evidence-based teaching practices – such as explicit instruction and mastery learning – with intensive support using a multi-tiered system of supports framework can improve education outcomes for students who are struggling, regardless of context.
Â鶹Éç also advocates for using culturally responsive teaching practices to ensure a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students.
Â鶹Éç's submission proposes the Review consider how system direction and resources can provide coherent guidance that encourages school leaders and teachers to consistently use these practices in secondary schools.
