We support schools to deliver tailored school implementation
Some schools implement GGSA programs on their own.
Other schools need more support so we provide experienced leadership coaches who successfully lead school improvement. Schools are provided with 1–3 years of support depending on their needs.
Our partner schools have achieved significant improvement using explicit instruction pedagogy and evidence-based programs tailored to their school and student cohort.

School Implementations
We partner with schools to deliver our tailored school implementation. Our expert leadership coaches guide schools on their improvement journey. Here is a snapshot of the improvement our partners have achieved using evidence-based programs and effective teaching tailored to the unique context of each school and student cohort.
Literacy in Remote Schools Program
25 schools participating in the Literacy in Remote Schools Program experienced significant growth in all NAPLAN literacy areas (reading, writing, spelling, and grammar and punctuation) compared with all Australian, and all very remote Indigenous schools. Schools involved in the program from 2015 to 2017 averaged the following growth:
- 124% in reading, compared to 19% Australian average growth and 34% growth for very remote Indigenous schools.
- 42% in writing, compared to 13% Australian average growth and 24% growth for very remote Indigenous schools.
- 67% in spelling, compared to 23% Australian average growth and 48% growth for very remote Indigenous schools.
- 180% in grammar and punctuation, compared to 15% Australian average growth and 28% growth for very remote Indigenous schools.

School views on effective teaching outcomes
