Global Hands-On Universe Conference 2015. 4-5 August 2015, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. Abstract: “The School of Astronomy and Astrophysics” (TSAA). TSAA is an “eSchool” initiative with its administration based at Atherton State High School in Far-North Queensland, Australia. TSAA delivers advanced STEM related courses in Astronomy and Astrophysics to high school students across Queensland via a virtual classroom administered through Blackboard. The challenges of providing this contemporary form of learning and engagement has seen the partnering of an innovative digital educational delivery model with university options that fast track students into Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers. TSAA’s vision is to create a sustainable but tangible and meaningful nexus between student, teacher and professional academics while studying Senior Astronomy, Senior Astrophysics and other STEM related courses online. TSAA has entered into a 2 year collaborative partnership with USQ to develop syllabus and online curriculum and resource materials for courses in Data Science, Coding and Scientific Literacy. TSAA is committed to supporting the future development of teacher expertise and STEM related curriculum for middle and junior secondary schooling throughout Australia. Through qualified GHOU facilitators, TSAA plans to develop, maintain & provide quality face-to-face and online professional development workshops for teachers to learn how to engage students from grades 4 to 9 in the classroom through GHOU.
