Evaluation of the ETMST Program: 2013-2017

The Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching commissioned PhillipsKPA, in collaboration with The University of the Sunshine Coast, to evaluate and support the ETMST Program. Funded for $18.9m over 2013-2017, the Program involved 27 universities working in five project teams and is a key part of the Australian Government's $54m Investing in Science and Maths for a Smarter Future initiative.

 

The ETMST Program aims to drive a major improvement in the quality of mathematics and science teachers by supporting new pre-service programs in which faculties, schools or departments of science, mathematics and education collaborate on course design and delivery to combine content and pedagogy. The final evaluation report is a highly accessible forward-looking document written for a broad audience, from lecturers in mathematics and science teacher training to policy-makers at ministerial level.
