Leadership from within: rural community revitalisation and the school-community partnership

While increased levels of government and private support have facilitated the introduction in a number of rural com ... Show more
While increased levels of government and private support have facilitated the introduction in a number of rural communities of a variety of school-community linkages, research suggests that leadership plays a central role in ensuring the sustainability of such linkages. Research notes that active relationships, which involve interactions that cross role boundaries, such as interactions between the school institution and the business institutions, have the greatest potential for sustainable community development. The product of these interactions is social capital, which can influence the social, civic or economic well-being of a community. [A] study was conducted in the Augusta Margaret River Shire in south-western Western Australia, and included the town of Margaret River plus a number of smaller communities, including Augusta. The way in which the senior high school continues to work with the community to foster youth participation in all aspects of community life, is the subject of this paper.

The aims of this paper are to describe some tools which can be used to help Participation and Equity Programme (PEP) lecturers and students discover what they understand by the term ‘student participation’ and whether this understanding increases through involvement in a PEP course. It does not address the problem of how to improve students understanding, nor is it concerned with measurement of actual student participation in class.

The Kimberley workforce development plan 2014-2017 (the plan) aims to build, attract and retain a skilled workforce to meet the economic needs of the Kimberley region. It contains a range of priority actions which were identified by local stakeholders to address local workforce development challenges. The plan aligns with the State Government's 'Skilling WA: a workforce development plan for Western Australia (Skilling WA)', which provides a framework for government and industry's response to Western Australia's skill and workforce needs. The Kimberley Workforce Development Alliance, which is made up of industry, community and government representatives from the region, will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the plan. The alliance will identify those actions within the plan that should be given highest priority and facilitate their implementation. Progress will be reported to stakeholders annually and be included in Skilling WA's annual progress report. The plan has been designed as an important reference point for all stakeholders as it identifies the challenges, agreed solutions and organisations that have a key stake in its implementation.
For the Regional Development Council, as the peak advisory body to the Western Australian Government on regional development matters, the plan is used to identify workforce issues and solutions which require policy consideration across regions. This includes guidance on Royalties for Regions initiatives to support regional workforce needs. For local government bodies, the plan identifies workforce issues to be taken into account as part of local government decision making processes. The plan will be used by industry associations and employer peak bodies as a reference when working directly with employers to implement industry and enterprise solutions to workforce development challenges. The plan also captures the views and aspirations of the broader community and provides a useful reference when engaging on workforce development issues across the region. The Department of Training and Workforce Development in conjunction with the Kimberley Workforce Development Alliance will facilitate the coordination of State Government responses outlined in the plan. This will include working with those agencies and training providers designated to take the lead on priority actions in the plan.

Policy to practice: TAFE teachers' unofficial code of professional conduct: insights from Western Australia

Over the past three decades unprecedented changes in the global economy have placed a demand on the vocational education and training (VET) sector in Australia to become a major contributor to the economic development and social cohesion of the nation. The response has been major reforms in the VET sector. Accordingly, the way VET operates has substantially changed. In doing so, the role of the TAFE teacher is also held to have significantly changed. This paper is offered as one contribution to gaining a different perspective of the impact of change in the VET sector by exploring the perspectives of TAFE lecturers. The paper is in three parts. First, an outline of the research approach in the study is described, this is followed by the findings and finally, the implications arising are presented for consideration.
