Title: Evaluation of the Green Valley Liverpool Domestic Violence Service (GVLDVS): Walking with women on their journey away from violence Authors: Laing, Lesley; Toivonen, Cherie Abstract: The Green Valley Liverpool Domestic Violence Service (GVLDVS) is one of six specialist domestic violence services funded under the Integrated Domestic and Family Violence Services Program (ID&FVSP). Originally providing a service only to women and children in Green Valley, the service was expanded under the ID&FVSP program to comprise six staff and extended to cover the Liverpool LGA. The GVLDVS is one of only two specialist domestic violence services located within the NSW Health sector. The brief of the service extends beyond the provision of direct services to women and children experiencing domestic violence to include an explicit focus on the promotion of a coordinated interagency response to domestic violence. This evaluation covered both its role in direct service delivery and in promoting a collaborative response to domestic violence, in particular, in its partnership with the police.

Title: Enabling participation of diverse families: A discussion paper for P&Cs Authors: Rawsthorne, Margot Abstract: In 2008 the Federation of Parents & Citizens Association NSW commissioned Dr.Rawsthorne to undertake research on the barriers and facilitators of parental participation in the P&C movement (and more generally in their involvement at schools. This discussion paper reports the findings of research undertaken with active P&C members, potential P&C members, access staff and senior school staff. It places the findings from this research in the context of the broader scholarship and existing research. The aims of the Discussion Paper are to resource local P&C committees as well as generate discussion concerning participation. It does not advocate for a ‘one size fits all’ approach, instead recognises that strategies will be most effective if developed locally and tailored to the particular composition of individual schools and communities.

Title: Aboriginal Women Against Violence Project Evaluation Report Authors: Rawsthorne, Margot; with Alice Chivell, with Alison Smith Abstract: In 2008 Joan Harrison’s Support Services for Women received funding under the National Community Crime Prevention Programme (NCCPP) in relation to the Aboriginal Women Against Violence Project. The overall aim of the project was ‘to address family violence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Liverpool and Campbelltown areas’ (Attorney General’s Funding schedule). The project identified two specific strategies to achieve this general aim: to train local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to become trainer, mentors and advocates in their own communities;to establish an Aboriginal Women Against Violence Committee. This evaluation reports on the agreed outcomes identified in the funding agreement as well as identifying broader lessons arising from the project in relation to addressing violence in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Title: Evaluation of the Green Valley Domestic Violence Service (GVDVS) Authors: Laing, Lesley; Irwin, Jude; Kennaugh, Cherie Abstract: The GVDVS is an innovative approach aimed at improving the response to women and children experiencing domestic violence, through a partnership between NSW Health, the Department of Community Services, Police, Housing and a range of non-government agencies. Health is the lead agency. Because of the developmental and evolving nature of the GVDVS, a ‘formative’ or ‘process’ evaluation was conducted. Data was collected from a range of sources including clients and staff of the service; frontline and management representatives of agencies in the area served by the service; and the client, training and community development records of the service. Analysis of this data indicated that the presence of a specialist domestic violence service has been the catalyst for improved interagency responses to domestic violence in Green Valley. GVDVS has developed a model of service delivery to women and children that provides a model of good practice in domestic violence service delivery within the health system.

Title: The influence of parents' culture on students' choice of mathematics study in senior years Authors: Awad, Farid Abstract: An extensive body of research exists regarding the factors that influence students’ decisions to study mathematics in senior years. Additionally, there is a significant body of research concerning student enrolments into mathematics courses and the trends and patterns that emerge as a result. However, little research has been performed concerning the influence of parents’ culture on students’ decisions to study mathematics, and in particular higher-level mathematics. This research explores and considers students’ cultural backgrounds and the factors that affect students’ mathematics choices and examines how this information can provide insight for principals, teachers schools and educational systems in encouraging and promoting mathematics education in New South Wales and abroad. An interpretative research paradigm is used to investigate the factors and influences affecting students’ decisions to study mathematics in senior years. This research is an exploratory investigation that provides a rich description of parental influences in one context. Questionnaires and two focus group meeting were conducted and analysed based on the major themes that emerged. While only a small-scale study, the results of the research indicate that students cultural backgrounds differ and can affect students’ influences to study mathematics in senior years. Furthermore, students from different cultural backgrounds are influenced differently based upon parental experiences, interests in mathematics and cultural views and attitudes of mathematics education. Additionally, this research indicates that students who are studying higher-level mathematics are influenced differently as compared to students who are studying lower-level mathematics or chose not to study mathematics at all. Furthermore, the findings highlight a number of areas for further exploration including the differences between students’ perceptions and parental beliefs about mathematics learning.

Title: Beginning Secondary Teachers and Students Assessment: perceptions and experiences of assessment as a pedagogical challenge Authors: Antzoulatos, Ekaterini Abstract: This study investigated beginning secondary teachers' perceptions and experiences of student assessment. Three aspects were explored: beginning teachers' perceptions of assessment, the elements of assessment beginning teachers find most challenging and the extent to which professional support is addressing beginning teachers' needs, in relation to assessment. In-depth interviews were conducted with six beginning secondary teachers. Participants ranged from less than one to five years experience and represented a range of subject methods. Assessment was perceived as a means to improve student learning, by providing a form of feedback concerning students' understanding and progress. Beginning secondary teachers however, did not perceive assessment as a means to critique and evaluate their own teaching practice. Beginning teachers also expressed a strong pedagogical belief that assessments should be interesting and engaging, however time constraints often inhibit the implementation of such assessments. The design phase of assessment proves to be the most challenging element of assessment. It appears that a teacher's tenure will determine what aspect of designing an assessment proves most challenging. In terms of professional support, there is a lack of professional development devoted to assessment and reporting. Generally beginning secondary teachers rely on advice from experienced colleagues.
