 | Vol 12 No 1 Autumn 2005 - Does Anyone Want to be a Leader This topic was chosen for because it has become obvious that the question of school leadership is both a complex and critical one. A series of busy school leaders have reflected on their current leadership role and the challenges of their working lives. There is a high degree of positive perceptions of their role, and whilst there has been no attempt to discount the negatives, the overwhelming feeling is one of joy for the job and for the people associated with the school community. Contents : * It's all about image * Attracting and retaining competent teachers * Better educational experience *On being a juggler * They call me Polyanna * Principalship is a journey * Engaging middle years students * All for one and one for all * Leadership on my agenda * Leading in school and community * Carpe Diem | |
 | Vol 12 No 2 Winter 2005 - Student Wellbeing This issue of the journal takes its theme from the notion that whilst schools have always been concerned for the physical and mental wellbeing of students the demands on schools related to student wellbeing issues have never been greater.

 | Vol 13 No 2 Winter 2006 - Lines of Thought There is no standard approach or model of a thinking curriculum that will suit the needs of all schools or all classrooms. Infusing a thinking curriculum approach is not about ‘doing’ De Bono’s Six Thinking Hats. It is a broader and more complex approach underlined by the fact that a thinking curriculum aims to equip students with the skills, behaviours and dispositions that will prepare them for a knowledge society. In the curriculum models and examples set out in this journal only those that are popularly advocated as effective teaching practices are represented. This journal was supported by a strategic partnership grant from the Victorian Department of Education and Training. Contents * From a Thinking Curriculum to Thinking Schools * Models of a Thinking Curriculum * Reflection, Evaluation and Metacognition: One Teacher’s Personal Journey * Thought Leads to Action: the Value of Teaching Thinking * Year 7 ‘Thinking Books’ Project * Playing for Keeps – Early Childhood * Using a Community of Inquiry Approach to Teach Thinking * Are You Happy with What is Happening in Your Classroom? * A Bibliography of Resources * Book Reviews * It’s All About the Questions * Linking Thinking: the Journey of the Brunswick Innovation and Excellence Cluster * The Challenge of Constructing and Implementing an Integrated Whole School Approach * Leadership for Thinking Schools * Inquiry Learning: Journeys Through the Thinking Process | |
 | Vol 13 No 3 Spring 2006 - Tools or Toys? The journal title invites a response to the question as to whether technology is a tool or a toy for the classroom? The editorial team was keen to avoid showcasing technology gadgets. We sought examples of where teachers were using technology as a tool to solve an existing educational problem or to enhance an experience in the learning environment. We chose to explore and share the good practice being undertaken by a range of workplaces who have taken up the Marc Prensky challenge of ‘just trying one idea’. This journal was produced in partnership with CPTAV and with support from Teaching Australia. Contents * Adopt and Adapt by Mark Prensky (reproduced from Edutopia, December 2005 issue) * Exploring ‘new’ and ‘old’ technologies in the Kindergarten room * New technologies and young children * Magic moments with multimedia portfolios * Robots and water on-line * ICT for gifted and talented students * Technology Trainees * Delivering Interactive lessons * Girls, teachers and technology * Pastoral care with technology * Technology across the school * Researching together * Beautiful blogging * Representing your professional identity * Cyber school site virtually here * Book Reviews | [ Add To Cart ] |
