During 2012 and 2013, Clarke Road School in partnership with Autism Central Pty. Ltd. have been involved in an action research project focusing on how to assist students to be in an optimum state - In the Zone for Learning, so that relevant and rigorous teaching and learning is taking place within classrooms.
The In the Zone website and its' resources have been developed by a team of teachers and allied health professionals in conjunction with parents, web developers, graphic designers and software developers. This website is a result of this extensive collaboration.
It was developed as a result of the Every Student, Every School (New South Wales, Australia) initiative aimed at providing better learning and support for students with a disability, learning difficulties or behaviour support needs. Every Student, Every School is supported by the Australian Commonwealth Government’s More Support for Students with Disabilities National Partnership 2012-2013.
