MAD Friends

The 'MAD Friends' program will enable us to support more Tasmanian schools implementing the ruMAD? (Are You Making a Difference?) Program. The ruMAD? Program is an award winning national program that inspires students to follow their passions and to be change-makers in their community.

Evidence shows that when students' passions and concerns are harnessed, when they are given a voice, and when they have success in real community projects, then they feel empowered to make a better future for themselves and the world. Even better, they want to learn and to go to school just to be a part of it.

How will the funds be used?

The funds will be used to allow the Tasmanian Centre for Global Learning to provide training and support to more Tasmanian schools. Currently we are not able to assist all schools wanting to implement ruMAD? to improve their students' engagement and learning outcomes.

Key areas of expenditure

Funds will be spent on: professional learning for teachers in their schools; school visits by Tasmanian Centre for Global Learning staff to mentor and assist teachers in their classrooms; and the development and provision of teaching resources
