Student Achievement

The key focus for any reform initiative would be improving student achievement in mainstream classrooms in the middle years.

• All participants would be focusing on improving student achievement, especially in the mainstream curriculum. Other outcomes such as attendance, aspirations engagement and wellbeing are secondary to achievement in the mainstream curriculum.
• Focusing on year 11 and year 12 is too late if we want to sustain long term improvements to student achievement as young people start tuning out in the middle years (or even before that).
