This project aims to design, test and share sustainable strategies to support teachers and enable students from low socioeconomic communities to achieve success. The greatest decreases in students’ interest and effort occur when they transition into secondary school, with students from low socioeconomic communities at greatest risk of disengagement. What can teachers do to engage their students during this key life transition? This project plans to identify teacher behaviours that motivate students in their first year at secondary school. Using an experimental design with a representative sample of 150 teachers and 1500 students in low socioeconomic areas across three states, the project plans to test whether an online professional learning program for teachers can improve student engagement and achievement. This cost-effective and scalable intervention is designed for widespread dissemination to Australian teachers.

该项目旨在设计、测试和分享可持续战略，以支持教师，使来自社会经济地位较低社区的学生取得成功。学生的兴趣和努力程度在升入中学时下降最大，来自社会经济地位低下社区的学生最有可能辍学。在这个关键的人生转变过程中，教师可以做些什么来吸引学生？该项目计划确定教师在中学一年级激励学生的行为。该项目采用一项实验设计，在三个州的低社会经济水平地区抽取了150名教师和1500名学生的代表性样本，以测试教师在线专业学习计划是否可以提高学生的参与度和成绩。这一具有成本效益和可扩展的干预措施旨在向澳大利亚教师广泛传播。
