"Increasing the supply of high-quality teachers in schools will make sure every student, no matter where they live, has access to a great local school, excellent teachers and a quality education."
STARRS Online Toolkit
This toolkit provides access to a collection of purposefully created and curated information, resources, case studies and research.
The tools, resources and activities are designed to support schools and their new teachers as they work collaboratively with their colleagues in schools and networks, to establish a shared understanding of how to boost retention of high quality teachers.
This toolkit will be your one stop shop for the STARRS Program. We will regularly communicate with you via this website.
Local solutions
Each local challenge requires a local approach and a local solution. There is no ‘silver bullet’ and no single solution that can be scaled up or applied across the whole state. The challenges faced by schools and students in hard-to-staff locations are in no way homogeneous.
While schools all might experience particular barriers related to their characteristics, challenges also differ from location to location, rural town to rural town and regional centre to regional centre. Local contexts can be affected by community size, proximity to major population centres, demographic characteristics and local economies.
As a result, efforts to improve learning outcomes for students must put local context at the forefront of policy and program design.
We look forward to working with you all to contribute to some of the solutions throughout the program.
