  • What Works for Boys?
    Australian Regional Conference 2017 Bucking the trend - What works for boys? - a 2-day program designed to provoke discussion around current educational issues, the research and literature about what works for boys. “Observation and theory get on best when they are mixed together, both helping one another in the pursuit of truth” - Sir Arthur Eddington, 1934 In education, “What works?” is rarely the right question, for the simple reason that in education, just about everything works somewhere, and nothing works everywhere.” - Dylan William, 2016 This conference will feature keynote addresses by leading educational researchers and thinkers and will challenge some accepted educational views. There will also be the opportunities for delegates to participate in workshops and share good practice about boys’ schooling. The program is targeted at teachers and school leaders committed to learning more about the best practices for boys’ learning. Presentations and workshops will generate informed reflection and discussion about boys’ education To maximise impact and deepen learning we encourage educators to attend as school teams. Conference Themes: Bucking the trend - What works for boys? • Learning from research • Issues in boys’ education • Shaping the culture in a boys’ school • Leading change in classroom practice • Building boys’ self-esteem and confidence Presentations will also be referenced against the following AiTSL Australian Professional Standards for Teachers: • Know students and how they learn • Know the content and how to teach

  • Spring Edition – No: 48
    Spring Edition – No: 48 2015 Commonwealth Vocational Education Scholarship 2015. I was awarded with the Premier Teaching Scholarship in Vocational Education and Training for 2015. The purpose of this study tour is to analyse and compare the Vocational Education and Training (Agriculture/Horticulture/Primary Industries) programs offered to school students in the USA in comparison to Australia and how these articulate or prepare students for post school vocational education and training. I will be travelling to the USA in January 2016 for five weeks. While there, I will visit schools, farms and also attend the Colorado Agriculture Teachers Conference on 29-30th January 2016. I am happy to send a detailed report of my experiences and share what I gained during this study tour with all Agriculture teachers out there. On the 29th of August I went to Sydney Parliament house where I was presented with an award by the Minister of Education Adrian Piccoli.

  • An Overview of Stile, Australia's #1 Science Resource Provider
    An overview of Stile, Australia’s #1 science resource provider EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR SCHOOL LEADERS Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 2 Table of contents Welcome letter 3 How we are rethinking science education > Our principles 5 > Our pedagogy 7 > Our approach 9 A simple solution > Stile Classroom 12 > Squiz 14 > Professional learning 15 > Stile Concierge 16 Key benefits 17 The Stile community of schools 19 The rest is easy 24 Stile | Executive summary for school leaders 3 It’s time to rethink science at school I’m continuously awestruck by the sheer power of science. In a mere 500 years, a tiny fraction of humanity’s long history, science – and the technological advances that have stemmed from it – has completely transformed every part of our lives. The scale of humanity’s scientific transformation in such a short period is so immense it’s hard to grasp. My grandmother was alive when one of the world’s oldest airlines, Qantas, was born. In her lifetime, flight has become as routine as daily roll call. Disease, famine and the toll of manual labour that once ravaged the world’s population have also been dramatically reduced. Science is at the heart of this progress. Given such incredible advancement, it’s tempting to think that science education must be in pretty good shape. Sadly, it isn’t. We could talk about falling PISA rankings, or declining STEM enrolments. But instead, and perhaps more importantly, let’s consider the world to which our students will graduate. A world of “fake news” and “alternative facts”.
