Assessing Learning In English
Many schools have expressed interest in our AGQTP project on Assessment of Learning in English. Based on the responses we have received, we have devised 4 faculty development situations outlined in these 4 proposals. Please email PD@englishteacher.com.au to let us know which you will be using so that we can allocate you a mentor and you can start the project.
learning about the Literary
This project, in conjunction with e:lit, the Primary English Teachers' Association, is to develop programs and teaching strategies for a continuity of learning literature years 5-8 with your feeder schools. Please register online for Learning Literature to receive school support in these areas over terms 2 and 3.
Stage 4 and Stage 5 units AvailAble
Two free units embedding financial literacy in the English curriculum are ready for download. A Stage 4 unit, Invisible, Not! (the effects of branding on identity), and a Stage 5 unit Watchdog (collaborative, independent research project) are available free of charge. Each unit is accompanied by a 45 minute faculty workshop to adapt it to your school context. Because of AGQTP funding requirements, downloading these units is conditional upon completing information to contribute to the evaluation of the success of the programme. For those who have already downloaded the units, please go directly to the evaluation page to finalise the process.
Hit Refresh! ETA Annual Conference 2009
Call for Papers
Successfully negotiating the computer roll-out and wider curriculum changes will require more than a quick cut-and-paste in programming and practice. We will need to consider how to use our knowledge and classroom practices in different ways, without compromising what was good in the past or limiting the possibilities of the future.
Papers submitted for this conference should provide opportunities for delegates to re-invigorate existing practices and embrace innovations.
