Applications for in-school support for the 2025/2026 academic year are now closed.
Applications for in-school support for the 2026–2027 school year will open at the outset of the new academic year. The relevant information will be shared with schools closer to the time.
Oide In-School Support Overview
Oide provides contextualised in-school support during/after school hours in a range of priority areas. We can provide this through:
Working with school leaders
Working with whole staff (2 hours minimum)
Working with groups of teachers
In-class modelling of pedagogical approaches
Sustained Support (more information below)
By applying for in-school support, an Oide Professional Learning Leader can visit your school to provide support tailored to the specific needs of your school.
Sustained Support
Oide in-school support is also available on a sustained basis. Sustained Support is a deeper form of teacher professional learning aimed at building internal school capacity, enabling schools to drive and embed change as independent communities of learners.
This support is provided over a period of time, involving school leaders and teachers working towards clear and agreed-upon goals. In this context, our Professional Learning Leaders support teachers to collaboratively reflect and identify strengths and needs before deciding on the best way forward for their school.
