Engaging students: Issues of difference, distribution and recognition in schools

该项目将有助于提高目前在教育部门被边缘化的学生的教育质量。它侧重于不同学生群体的成就，以及学校和课堂如何重视并在教育上“处理”他们的差异。联邦和州教育部长在2008年《关于澳大利亚青年教育目标的墨尔本宣言》中将边缘化学生参与学校教育过程确定为国家优先事项。通过解决被主流学校边缘化的学生的参与问题，该项目还将解决促进和保持良好健康的问题。

The project will help to improve the quality of schooling provided to students currently marginalised within the education sector. It focuses on the achievement of diverse groups of students and on how schools and classrooms value and educationally 'work with' their differences. The engagement of marginalised students in the schooling process has been identified as a national priority by Federal and State Ministers of Education in the 2008 Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians. By addressing the engagement of students marginalised from mainstream schooling, the project will also address the promoting and maintaining good health.
