These practices include: enhancing teaching and learning environments, particularly in relation to provision of high quality infrastructure for twenty-first century (digital) learning; designing and managing after-school homework support; recruiting, developing, and retaining high-quality teaching staff; promoting international and multicultural awareness through deliberate exposure to varied cultural experiences and perspectives; optimizing the benefit of project work for student academic and social outcomes; designing educational interventions based on self-concept research; and developing and international service learning course for tertiary students."--back cover.
