Case StudySearching for information on an Australian poet I am writing a biography on the Australian poet Edward Harrington. What information is available on him? We can start by searching likely databases for entries on Harrington e.g. Australian Dictionary of Biography and AustLit It is always useful to search the Catalogue to see if the Library has any items relating to Harrington. A Catalogue search for "Edward Harrington" shows that we hold a portrait of him, a biographical cuttings file and an oral history recording by him. It is a good idea to check his published works to see if any biographical information is included in his writings. We can then search the Trove newspaper database to find articles that mention Harrington. If Harrington was involved in any organisations, such as a poet's society, searching for the organisation may provide some useful background on his life and activities

One of the first leadership decisions I made was to work with staff to audit our schools meta-curriculum. That is all of those programs, events, celebrations, operational arrangements and practices which are not core to the teaching and learning that happens inside classrooms.

My mantra was to “give teachers permission to spend their time improving the learning of the students in their class with minimal disruption”.

Students are spending less time out of classrooms and more time focused on their own learning.

Teaching feedback to help create a growth mindset within your classroom, organization, or team works. We suggest that you:

1. Create a culture in your learning spaces where mistakes are celebrated.

2. Ensure you maintain a culture in your learning space where peer feedback is considered the norm and is to be welcomed.
