Program Overview: This online information session will introduce participants to the Building the Self-Researching School: Research as a Catalyst for Growth project and assist you to determine if this initiative is the right fit for your school. 

AISSA Senior Educational Consultants Julie Tarzia and Desiree Gilbert will outline the program’s key outcomes and what schools can expect from their involvement. 

In its inaugural offering, the AISSA invites schools to build practitioner research capability as a gateway to learning success. This project supports schools to become self-researching communities, identifying problems of practice, developing evidence literacy, and fostering a culture of reflection and collective improvement tailored to their unique context. Schools will engage in tailored pathways that shift the focus from external solutions to internally driven inquiry and innovation. Schools are invited to hear more about the project and ask the key questions right for you.
