Abstract
This paper reports on a project that identified and explored the factors leading to outstanding mathematics outcomes in junior secondary public education in NSW for students across the ability spectrum. Once a sample of mathematics faculties was identified by drawing upon the extensive quantitative and qualitative data-bases within the NSW Department of Education and Training (DET), seven intensive case studies were conducted to identify faculty-level factors. Seven common themes are reported and these are the strong sense of team, staff qualifications and experience, teaching style, time on task, assessment practices, expectations of students, and teachers caring for students. An Exceptional Schooling Outcomes Project (ÆSOP) was designed to investigate the principles, processes, and practices in a sample of sites in NSW Years 7-10 Department of Education and Training (DET) schools producing outstanding educational outcomes. The research focus was on teams of teachers (i.e., mathematics faculties). The nature of “outstanding educational outcomes ” was determined using the Adelaide Declaration on National Goals for Schooling in the Twenty-first Century, approved by all State, Territory and Commonwealth Ministers of Education in 1999. They stated that schooling should:
