Western Sydney University

Research output: Book/Research Report › Research report

Abstract

This report examines how the Refugee Action Support program (RAS), a collaboration between the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation, the University of Western Sydney and the NSW Department of Education and Training has been effectively implemented in two high schools in Greater Western Sydney. The program, a School-University-Community partnership, is located within the secondary teacher-education degree at the University of Western Sydney. It requires pre-service teachers to operate outside the formal classroom environment, providing specialized individual and small group literacy and numeracy tuition and support to secondary students from humanitarian refugee backgrounds.
