Schools are significant sites of authentic learning for teacher professional development. This study will contribute to a better understanding of how the culture of the secondary school subject department can facilitate or hinder such development. The project will: contribute to creating more supportive work contexts for teachers thereby reducing teacher attrition; inform the development of better polices and practices surrounding teachers' professional learning communities; contribute to national and state level initiatives for the articulation of professional standards for teaching; and optimise the professional practices of HPE teachers who, as 'allied health workers', are integral to addressing Australia's health priorities.

学校是教师专业发展的重要场所。本研究将有助我们了解中学学科系的文化如何促进或阻碍这方面的发展。该项目将：有助于为教师创造更多支持性的工作环境，从而减少教师流失；为围绕教师专业学习社区制定更好的政策和做法提供信息；促进国家和州一级的倡议，以阐明专业的教学标准；优化HPE教师的专业实践，他们作为“联合卫生工作者”，是解决澳大利亚卫生优先事项不可或缺的一部分。
