The Good to Great Schools Australia (GGSA) Pilot Program (the pilot program) aims to improve the literacy, numeracy and science outcomes of students and increase teacher pedagogical skills in schools with a high proportion of Indigenous students through the use of Explicit Instruction.
On this page:
The pilot program delivers training, coaching, and monitoring services via online, self-paced learning modules.
The pilot program was announced as part of the 2020-2021 Federal Budget. Funding of $5.77m for the pilot program and evaluation was announced in the Budget 2020-2021: Investing in Education and Research media release, 6 October 2020.
In 2021, the Australian Government committed further funding of $5 million under the Scaling Up Proven Primary Reading Programs measure to increase the number of participating schools from 10 to 20. The pilot program will be delivered in schools over three years from 2021-22 to 2024-25.
