Summary The National Accelerated Literacy Program (NALP) is an ambitious initiative that aims to develop the sustainable implementation of a successful and broadly based approach to achieving high level literacy outcomes for Indigenous and other educationally marginalised students. The development work carried out in the project will provide both resources and insight into appropriate strategies for managing the complex change and quality assurance processes that arise at departmental systems level when complex education program solutions are spread over a large number of schools. The NALP program is a joint program of the Northern Territory Department of Employment, Education and Training (NTDEET), Charles Darwin University, the Northern Territory Government and the Federal Governments Department of Employment, Science and Training
