C-H-A-N-G-E Framework: EPIC - Engaging Parents in Curriculum
No full textThe Parent Engagement C-H-A-N-G-E Framework (Willis & Exley, 2020) documents research-informed practices from Engaging Parents in Curriculum (EPIC) research for schools and teachers wishing to establish and sustain parent and community engagement in student learning. The framework comprises six interconnected themes: Connections, Home-school alignment, Agency, New and different roles, Generative collaboration, and Empathy. The C-H-A-N-G-E Framework can be used at the macro level of school processes and policies, the meso level of teaching and leadership teams, and the micro level of the classroom. Previous research (Willis & Exley, 2022; Willis, Exley, & Daffurn, 2021a) highlighted how the framework assists teachers and school leaders to integrate parent engagement in the design and delivery of curriculum.Full Tex

Looking back to look forwards: Expanding the sociology of education
No full textAs we write these lines, sociology celebrates 50 years of the French publication of the book ‘The Inheritors’, written by Bourdieu and Passeron in 1964. This ‘classic’ was followed by a series of works in the sociology of education (mainly published in England, France and the United States) devoted to the inequalities inherent within disparate projects revolving around school democratisation . From the 1960s to the mid-1970s, if the paradigms of educational sociologists do not all inscribe to that of critical sociology , several common factors are involved in researchers’ overarching lines of enquiry: the development of statistical data on schools, conferences and publication of reports on education (see Coleman, 1966 in the United States; Plowden, 1967 in the United Kingdom), and the structuration of school policies around democratisation underlying theories of human capital and the dependence of the school vis-à-vis the labour market, and the stratification and socio-economic organisation of societies

No full textEngaging Parents in Curriculum (EPIC) 2023 research used school leadership teams to explore how a culture and practice of parent and community engagement in student learning and wellbeing may be established and sustained. The EPIC 2023 Final Report presents initial descriptive research findings based on data from 55 participants in eight different Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ) member schools. The research was funded by Queensland Independent Schools Parents Network (QIS Parents Network) and received in-kind support from ISQ and Griffith University. The report covers the third and final year of longitudinal research (i.e., EPIC 2021–2023) which has involved 10 schools and over 90 participants (see EPIC 2022 & 2021 Final Reports; Willis & Exley, 2022; Willis, Exley, & Daffurn, 2021a). The research benefits from similar investigations that have been conducted since 2008 in Catholic Education and State Schools.Full Tex
Grammar’s journey: Teacherly reflections from Linda-Dianne Willis & Beryl Exley
No full textAs we come to celebrate the twentieth year of ALEA’s practically orientated journal, we offer teacherly reflections on grammar’s journey, both in terms of content and pedagogical practice. Having both been educated in Queensland across a comparable time period, our teaching careers have been influenced by similar curricula and policy documents. It is perhaps not surprising that our careers have taken similar, even intersecting, paths. Through metalogue (written conversation), our individual and common experiences are revealed which may resonate with the experiences of some readers or, in contrast, serve to explain why readers’ experiences may be somewhat different. Yet, it is hoped that our exchange may generate fertile professional discussions about the affordances and challenges of grammar teaching and learning to successfully negotiate the journey ahead
