School Workforce Research.

We are continually undertaking qualitative and quantitative research projects to gain insights that will help us all build better school workforces.


State of the Sector Report.

Our State of the Sector (SoS) report unpacks the perspectives of Australian principals, teachers, and school leaders about the challenges and opportunities facing the school workforce.

Comparing your own experience of workforce leadership against the SoS findings is a great place to start your school’s next workforce strategy and planning phase.

School Workforce TIDE Report.

Our School Workforce Tracking Insights, Data & Evidence (TIDE) Report is a deep dive into the workforce trends we’ve found among schools who access our platform, and the connections between workforce characteristics and student outcomes.

The aim of this report is to shed light on which workforce factors are most important for school leaders to attend to, as they make decisions and plan for the future of their school.

Curated Research Library.

We are building a comprehensive library of blog posts, video content and contributions sourced from leading educators, experts and researchers, as well as collaborators from across our community.

Content is published and updated on a regular basis, and our subscribers are encouraged to become collaborators by sharing their own learnings and experiences to grow our resource library.

"Human resources are like natural resources; they’re often buried deep. You have to go looking for them, they’re not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves."
