2017 MANSW Annual Conference 2017 yenMANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude PLATINUM SPONSORS MANSW thanks the following sponsors for their support of the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference GOLD SPONSOR SILVER SPONSORS OTHER SPONSORS Pre-Dinner Drinks President’s Reception Sponsor Presenter Gifts Welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Adjusting Your Altitude A very warm welcome to the 2017 MANSW Annual Conference: “Adjusting Your Altitude”. In deciding to bring the MANSW Annual Conference to the Blue Mountains this year, I wanted our theme to be related to the mountains in some way. In particular, the graphic that we have used this year stood out to me as a graphic that epitomises our work as teachers. To teach effectively, it is not enough to explain our knowledge, experiences, to talk students through the journey they will go on, all the potholes they may fall in, how to navigate, how to plan for bad weather, how to move up the mountain… you have to walk it with them, and help them on the way, adjusting as you go. We are excited to be able to welcome many educators to our conference this year, and there are many notable events to look forward to. On Friday morning we have two excellent speakers: Mark Harrison and Angela D’Angelo. Mark Harrison has a background in Mathematics and Psychology and will speak to us about Growth Mindset, in particular how understanding student mindsets can deeply influence our effectiveness in the classroom. Angela D’Angelo, one of the recipients of a Premier’s Teaching Scholarship in 2016, will continue the conversation around Growth Mindset as well as discuss her journey over the last year. On Friday evening we hope that you will all join us at our President’s welcome drinks to both meet new people and/or catch up with old friends and colleagues. Following the presidents drinks we are again running a trivia night, building on the success of last year’s which we hope many of you will attend. Saturday morning offers the opportunity to learn about current curriculum developments in mathematics from Anna Wethereld, the Board Inspector for Mathematics and Numeracy at the NSW Education Standards Authority. Saturday night is the annual dinner with the opportunity to dress for the occasion if you so wish, our theme this year being “Blue”. Our dinner activities are organised by Karen McDaid and will inspire you to get thinking, whilst the live band “Peppermint Jam” will inspire you to get moving! This year we are trialling Sunday morning as being our “practical sessions” where you can really get hands on with some mathematics and activities, before having some stand up finger food and heading on your way. The most important contributors to the conference are the numerous volunteers who run our sessions and generously share their knowledge and understanding with everyone. We are very grateful to these colleagues who have put an incredible amount of time and effort into preparing their session for all to enjoy. We are also incredibly grateful to our sponsors and exhibitors. We wish to acknowledge our very generous Platinum Sponsors: Casio and Manga High; our Gold Sponsor: Mathspace; and our Silver Sponsors: Maths Pathways and CSU Engineering. We are also grateful for the financial support of 2017 MANSW Annual Conference Page 2 Nelson Cengage and 3P Learning for sponsoring the Presenter Gifts; Australian Mathematics Trust for sponsoring the President’s Reception and Jacaranda for sponsoring the Pre-dinner Drinks. Do please all take the time to look around the exhibitor displays and explore their wonderful array of reference materials and teaching resources. Finally I personally would like to thank the incredible team from the MANSW Office: Zina, Darius and Zara for all their hard work and commitment. They do the majority of the organisation for the conference and I never cease to be impressed with the level of their dedication. As mentioned above, our keynote speakers this year are focussing on the idea of a ‘Growth Mindset’. Of course, understanding and considering a growth mindset is a very different thing from living it. How many of us have a fixed mindset with regard to something in our lives… ‘I can’t cook’, ‘I’m always getting lost in the car’, ‘I’m not good in particular social situations’, ‘I don’t get on with that particular person’, … the list can be endless. A quote from Pride and Prejudice springs to mind: Darcy: “I certainly have not the talent which some people possess, of conversing easily with those I have never seen before…” Elizabeth: “My fingers, do not move over this piano (sic) in the masterly manner which I see so many women’s do… But then I have always supposed it to be my own fault – because I would not take the trouble of practising. It is not that I do not believe my fingers as capable as any other woman’s of superior execution.” In essence, a growth mindset could be defined as having a positive approach to whatever we are asked to try. A student who is able to approach a topic with “yes, I would like to learn that” will frequently do much better than the student who approaches with trepidation, expecting to fail. As teachers, it is vital that we practice what we preach and lead by example, and every year the conference is filled with such positive people having such positive experiences and conversations that I feel very confident that we will all leave able to help our students up their mountain to the best of our ability.

Unlike the old idea that the class had only ‘smart’ and ‘dumb’ kids, he realised they were fundamentally divided by ‘learners’ and ‘non-learners’. He discerned that many students spent huge amounts of time avoiding work they could actually complete if they just focused on it. He awakened to the fact that a large majority of students in his classroom were not reaching their potential because of a belief that maths was not ‘their thing’. This lead to his investigation into the research of Growth Mindset by Dr Carol Dweck. His thesis investigated this idea using students transitioning to high school in the domains of maths and reading. It was a deep dive into the fundamental classroom divide. And for over ten years, he has devoted his professional life to this new way of looking at the way people learn. This keynote speech will focus on the influence that Growth Mindsets have on our lives and especially the students. How they have a crucial influence on motivation and behaviour. And, he believes, without understanding mindsets it is hard to really change student motivation at all. This keynote will stress the need for a new way in education motivation. Today and moving forward educators can no longer ignore this important psychological mechanism. Because of the ever-changing job market, it is even more important to teach this new way of how students can reach their full potential and become more flexible thinkers. Biography of Mark Harrison Mark is on a mission to help educators and students change the way they view learning. Trained as a Mathematics and Psychology teacher, he has a unique background in Psychology, Growth Mindsets and Mathematics education. Mark has helped schools develop whole-school cultural change using Growth Mindset philosophy. This has been achieved working in the role of a senior psychologist supervising a group of psychologists and counsellors, as a Principles of Learning and Teaching P-12 whole-school coordinator and also working with principals as part of the welfare team to implement dynamic new ways to transform teaching and learning practices.

  • Here More Longitudinal ATAR Data Is Available
    AN EXTENDED CASE STUDY: THE 2020 ATARS & WHAT THEY REVEAL With a special focus on James Ruse Agricultural High School Carlingford EDITED BY PASTOR RON WOOLLEY 2 0 2 1 INTRODUCTION PASTOR RON WOOLLEY JANUARY 2021 This case study looks outside of Queensland, especially to NSW, where more longitudinal ATAR data is available. It continues to explore academic themes raised in previous papers published in ACS eBooks, and ultimately seeks to provoke further discussion on alumni outcomes of Australian Christian schooling. Alumni outcomes were the focus of the Cardus Education Survey Australia 2019-2020, which essentially concluded ‘across all sectors within Australian education, Millennial graduates contribute to the common good by promoting flourishing and sustaining civic life in various ways’. Within this context of ‘the common good,’ ACS is looking closely at sectoral differences to see what Christian schooling may further learn from other sectors. ACS has initiated a second research project, emergent out of the CESA findings and drawing on that data, to “Conduct research to help the public understand the following question/ problem: What differences are revealed in the CES Australia findings when we engage in a detailed state-based analysis of the CES Australia data sets?" 2 The purpose of this project is to seek to identify, analyse and investigate a detailed state by state breakdown of the Cardus Education Survey (CES) Australia Christian school data sets, paying particular attention to the geographical, socio-cultural, metropolitan/regional, and demographic profiles and dimensions that are evident within each Australian state and territory. As the CES Canada report of 2018 revealed “one of the main problems with existing (CES) data is… regional differences in the impact of independent schools on students’ lives have not been carefully considered”.

  • 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.
