Teaching workforce development through integrated partnerships

Australian governments endorse integrated partnerships to enhance the quality of teaching and address changing environments. But what are the effects of these partnerships on teaching workforce development? This project investigates the promise of partnerships to understand their effects on schools as workplaces and how they become learning spaces for beginning teachers. Building knowledge about partnerships as complex and entangled networks and a theory of partnership work, the project returns benefits by identifying practical models that inform partnership development and the capacities and strategies that are necessary in partnership work. These research outcomes contribute to the renewal of teaching workforce development in Australia.
