The staff are supported through extensive professional development and coaching in these key areas. Aveley SC\'s collaborative approach to pedagogy has been recognised as best practice through the Grattan Institute, and teaching staff have been filmed by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) as examples of best practice.
