We should do less of spending money on assessment detached from designing learning and more of creating learning experiences that are irresistibly engaging."
"The integration of technology and pedagogy to maximize learning must meet four criteria. It must be irresistibly engaging; elegantly efficient
(challenging but easy to use); technologically ubiquitous; and steeped in real-life problem solving."
"I hold out four criteria for integrating technology and pedagogy to produce exciting, innovative learning experiences for all students
--something desperately needed to bring education into the 21st century. These new developments must be i) irresistibly engaging (for students and for
teachers); ii) elegantly efficient and easy to use; iii) technologically ubiquitous 24/7; and iv) steeped in real-life problem solving."
"The English Developmental Continuum F-10 provides evidence based indicators of progress, linked to powerful teaching strategies, aligned to the progression points and the achievement standards for the AusVELS English Domain.
These teaching strategies are designed to support purposeful teaching of individuals and small groups of students with similar learning needs. It is intended that teachers use the strategies in the context of their own classrooms, text or topic being taught."
The Mathematics Developmental Continuum F-10 provides evidence based indicators of progress, linked to powerful teaching strategies, aligned to the progression points and the achievement standards of AusVELS Mathematics.
Indicators of progress are points on the learning continuum that highlight critical understandings required by students in order to progress through the AusVELS achievement standards.

A great place to build your content knowledge, but also a great place show where the next step is.
my personal goal for the core curriculum is to help students think critically and in detail about music, and to communicate clearly and persuasively about music.
A fantastic resource for Prep-Grade 1 students that covers a range of ICT and Literacy based skills. ICT skills include keyboard recognition and typing. Literacy skills include alphabet games, word recognition and beginning writing skills.
Great website to help in fluency and reading with expression. Lots of small plays and poems that students can use. Photocopy and laminate sets for use each year!
