Educational Transitions and Change

The overall goals of the Educational Transitions and Change (ETC) Research Group are to conduct high quality research that:

  • respects the rights of all research participants;
  • considers the theories, processes and multiple facets of change in professional practice, learning and education;
  • investigates educational transitions across the lifespan and their implications for professional practice at individual, family, community, state, national and international levels;
  • is disseminated to researchers, policy makers, professionals, and communities through exemplary publications;
  • influences policy makers in their decisions about professional practice, learning and education; and
  • enhances the group's reputation and influence as a leading national and international centre for the investigation of educational transitions and change.

The final report of the evaluation of Foundations for Success is now available on the Division of Indigenous Education and Training Futures website http://deta.qld.gov.au/indigenous/. The report is providing an extremely useful evidence base from which to promote the characteristics of quality in early childhood programs in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.  It is particularly timely in supporting the implementation of the National Quality Framework in our pre-Prep programs.
