A case study of implementing international programs in one state school

(2016) A case study of implementing international programs in one state school. Professional Doctorate thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Using a qualitative case study approach, this study examines how one government school in Queensland implemented international programs for fee-paying students from Asia at three specific time frames. Through an analysis of the policy processes that have driven international programs and approaches to Asia-literate school education in Australia, this study demonstrates that school based implementation processes were problematic and that efforts to enrich international programs in the school through Asia literacy were limited. Findings indicated the complexity of what happens in a school when top-down approaches to implementing policy occur without effective communication and the provision of staff professional development.
