ÆSOP Exceptional Outcomes in English Education
By David Baxter, Paul Brock, Wayne Sawyer
Overview
A module of the ÆSOP Series - An Exceptional Schooling Outcomes Program
What is it that enables a Faculty of English to produce sustained excellence in its students’ academic achievements? To answer this question the authors conducted detailed case studies in exceptional Faculties in a number of large public high schools in New South Wales. Taking a broad, comprehensive view of curriculum, embracing curriculum change, adhering to a specific pedagogy and applying appropriate assessment practices are characteristics of these exceptional English Faculties. Among the most important of several conclusions reached is the role of the Faculty’s Head Teacher in establishing a climate that focuses on student achievement and the continuing professional development of teachers; in other words, developing an academic community.
