Abstract
This presentation explores a school-university engagement project that developed a collaborative approach to collecting and sharing the viewpoints and perspectives of students, teachers and administrators about the implementation of school-wide pedagogy. This research approach is a valuable tool for organisations to learn and reflect on the impact of system wide change. The research focused on using a Most Significant Change (MSC) approach to collect and analyse stories of practice shared by students, teachers and administrators. The results identified that participants, at all levels, identified changes in teaching and learning since the implementation of the school wide pedagogical framework. The stories have been used as a tool for professional development within the context of the school and university to share practice, explore classroom pedagogy and to aid reflection. The mutually beneficial knowledge developed through this engagement research activity illustrates the important role of community and university engagement and the opportunity to connect university teaching to the real world of work.
