ACER UPDATE
Principal for a Day
ACER’s Australian Principals Centre has taken on the management of the Principal for a Day program, where leaders from corporate, political and community life have the opportunity to learn about what it takes to run a government school.
The program promotes productive communication between schools, business, industry and the wider community. After the school visits, forums are held so the business and community leaders and the principals can discuss their experiences and ideas for continuing relationships. The program began in Victoria in 2001, before expanding into NSW, the ACT and Queensland. Further information is available at http://www.acer.edu.au/leadership/principal-for-a-day
Victorian Global Education Project
ACER has been commissioned to extend its 2003-2005 evaluation of the Victorian Global Education Project for the Geography Teachers’ Association of Victoria.
ACER will evaluate the effectiveness of professional development sessions offered to pre-service teacher education students and to teachers in schools. The major focus of this next phase will be on evidence of the impact of the project activities on teaching practices. A report is due in January 2007. The GEP is funded by the Australian Government AusAID Programme.
