Teachers researching communities

Teachers researching communities (TRC) in Priority Schools is a joint project between the NSW Department of Education and Training and The University of Sydney, funded by the Priority Schools Programs (PSP) and the Aboriginal and Training Directorate (AETD).

The aim of TRC is to develop, evaluate, and refine a set of practical strategies that teachers in Priority Schools can use to conduct systematic research in the communities to better serve the needs of teachers, students, parents and school leaders. Resources will be developed, including a Community Inquiry Template as a result of this research.
