The AISNSW Research to Practice Initiative is designed to support classroom teachers and schools in being at the forefront of embedding evidence-based practice in teaching and learning in primary Science and Technology, as well as in using the NSW Science and Technology K-6 syllabus to ensure student achievement of the knowledge, understanding, skills, values and attitudes essential for them to succeed in and beyond their schooling.
Research to Practice is a year-long partnership between AISNSW and school teams. Using the Spiral of Inquiry framework for collaborative inquiry, together with the latest evidence in effective teaching and learning, teams engage with a dedicated AISNSW consultant and work together to improve the experience of their students in primary Science and Technology through analysing information collected about their students and about current classroom pedagogy, followed by the development and implementation of new professional learning and actions.
