This document summarizes a briefing meeting for the Teaching Teachers for the Future project at Griffith University. It includes an agenda for the meeting which covers an introduction to the project, its components and focus areas, key deliverables around research and evaluation, and plans for future actions. The project involves seconding educators to universities to help develop ICT curriculum and pedagogy in teacher education programs, with a focus on English and math. Evaluation will assess changes to curriculum and teachers' ICT capacity through surveys. The research component will include developing innovation plans, collecting case studies of significant changes, and registering research projects on the project network.

6. Key TTF Deliverables – Research and Evaluation Evaluation Overall project efficacy including whether the objectives of improving the capability of pre-service teachers through developing ICT proficiency, providing opportunities, enhancing understanding and fostering collaboration, will be assessed as part of each project component. In particular, the following indicators will gauge success in each component, to the extent that they can be assessed, by the end of the project. Component 1 – Long term and ongoing success of the project will be evaluated through graduate teachers demonstrating their capabilities in the ICTE dimensions of the National Professional Standards – Graduate Teachers. A survey instrument will be developed by AITSL to probe the extent of the use of the ICTE dimensions by pre-service teachers and universities. Component 2 ESA will use surveys and the collection of online data to evaluate pre-service teacher and teacher educators’ access to, and use of, the digital resources through the trial, and the effectiveness of the exemplary packages in the context of the Australian Curriculum. The evaluation will inform project recommendations for developing future online professional learning resources. Component 3 ALTC in partnership with ACDE will collect pre and post data from Universities relating to the ICTE capacity of graduating students. This will include the use of established survey instruments to measure capacity (TPACK). Researchers and agencies within the National Network will be invited to assist with research around the project. Recommendations will be made regarding further resource development, sustainability and scalability. Research Component 3 offers research opportunities for those directly involved, and others who are interested in the TTF, to design and undertake research projects. While there are no TTF funds to support this, interested researchers from all HEI’s will be encouraged and invited to participate.

7. Scope – Component 3 Component 3 ALTC in partnership with ACDE will collect pre and post data from Universities relating to the ICTE capacity of graduating students. This will include the use of established survey instruments to measure capacity (TPACK). Researchers and agencies within the National Network will be invited to assist with research around the project. Recommendations will be made regarding further resource development, sustainability and scalability. Link with Component 1 and Component 2, with Focus on Component Three Establish a sustainable National Network of ICTE expertise to drive systemic change in ICTE curriculum and pedagogy in Teacher education in Australia. This component, led by the ALTC in association with ACDE and all Australian institutions that provide teacher education, will second highly accomplished ICTE educators (ICT Pedagogy Officers –ICTPOs) to Australian Institutions to work with teacher educators and pre-service teachers to develop and share exemplary ICTE curriculum and pedagogy, and to contribute leadership in one or two of the Australian curriculum areas of English, Mathematics, History and Science. The main focus of Component 3 is the development of professional learning networks that will provide targeted professional development and foster collaboration within and between teacher education institutions and relevant teacher education partners to build capacity within each institution. The evaluation of Component 3 needs to demonstrate: Changes to curriculum, pedagogy, assessment and resources used in designated Australian Curriculum areas in the identified teacher education program within the participating institutions; Changes in the ICT capacity of graduating teacher education students (including the use of survey instruments to collect pre- and post- Project data (including the use of established survey instruments to measure capacity (TPACK) in areas/programs identified in 1; Changes in the practices, understandings & skills of English, Mathematics, Science, and History curriculum methods teacher educators regarding embedding ICTE in their curriculum methods subjects. An Action Plan for the Institution in how it will sustain and scale project improvements across all curriculum areas and all-to-be-nationally accredited pre-service teacher education programs, as well as into the future.

19. 2. Most Significant Change (MSC) and Action Plans Developing the Innovation Plan for each HEI site The first task for the ICTPO and TTF coordinator is to develop an initial plan for the innovation in the curriculum areas within their institution. How will the domains of change for this project be developed in your institution in each curriculum area? These innovation plans can then be shared on the TTF NSN site. The plans can be updated and developed as the project proceeds. ResearcTeaching Teachers for the Future Project Griffith University - 6 May 2011
