 For Education Leaders
A Sea Change in Maths Teaching  Many strategies have been tried, many have failed but Coffs Harbour-based Holly Wedd seems to have found a research and evidence-based approach to teaching maths that’s kicking goals. She is also creating a pro maths movement in her school that’s changing the way students think about the subject which is steadily spreading in the region. Communicating to Build Unity  We still, mostly, educate kids along cultural and religious lines, and that can mean we don’t talk to or know as much as we should about others from different backgrounds, making for a shortfall in understanding and, at the very worst, suspicion and hostility. Trans-cultural Respect Literacy for Teachers: A Panacea for Teacher Shortage  Given the projected massive teacher shortage in schools, it becomes necessary to talk about another major reason for the shortage, a lack of respect for teachers. Here we examine how the lack of respect for teachers can be addressed through trans-cultural literacy. Breaking Approval Dependence (BAD)  There are a few steps to Breaking Approval Dependence (BAD) and it takes considerable focus and energy to move into the zone of unconditional self-acceptance, where you will be inclined to automatically respond to criticism in a healthy and rational way so that your new and rational sense of who you are stays intact. It is essentially a question of finding out why you feel extra sensitive to criticism. Classhive Eliminates Edtech Login Bottleneck  Logging in with thirty or so usernames and passwords to get a classroom’s software running makes for an annoying time sink. Professorship for Eddie Woo  Eddie Woo’s efforts in promoting maths are well recognised, with over one million subscribers to his maths-based YouTube channel, Woo’s ability to excite and engage students in the subject is remarkable.
