Testimonials

‘I like it that you can do the professional learning at your own pace. You can sit at home on the weekend and do it, or you can sit at school and do it, during the holidays you can do it.’

Instruction Coach, Oz-e-English Writing (Language) Years F–6, Curriculum

‘When I was doing the professional learning, it questioned my knowledge and my understanding, but I didn’t feel threatened by it.’

Principal, Instruction Coach, Northern Territory, Oz-e-English Writing (Language) Years F–6, Curriculum

“I really like having a School Improvement Coach so we can have open discussions about where we’d like to go, and our School Improvement Coach can give us feedback on what to do, I really like that.”

Principal, Northern Territory

‘One of my favourite features of Oz-e-English Writing is that it addresses a lot of techniques that we probably overlook, and it addresses them a lot better than I would normally.’

Kate, Instruction Coach, New South Wales

‘Direct Instruction has allowed me to teach my student a quality program without having to spend hours and hours producing resources. I actually get to have a weekend off every once in a while without feeling like I was going to be unprepared the following week.’

Instruction Coach Pathway, Curriculum

‘The Spelling Mastery professional learning modules are a perfect balance of developing understanding and modelling through practical application.’

Assistant Principal, New South Wales

“A as leaders of our school, it’s nice to not feel that we are being judged, we’re being supported. I think that’s the strength of what Good to Great Schools Australia does. I don’t feel that I am being bombarded with orders, I feel that we have a dialogue, we get good feedback and its truthful feedback of where we need to be heading, and what we can do to achieve things. I feel like we work together rather than being told what to do.”

Principal, Northern Territory

“Participating in the Good to Great Schools Australia program, our team’s practice has become more concise – it has tightened things up a bit more, from what I’ve seen and heard from staff.”

Lauren, Instruction Coach, Northern Territory

“From a coaching perspective I think my practice has improved heaps through working with GGSA and through our weekly meetings. In terms of how I navigate school improvement conversations and concerns. What gets fed back and how I go about structuring those conversations and meeting with those teachers and getting everybody on board has improved.”
