I’m relatively confident those who are interested or have children know that the Australian Government has come up with a new Curriculum. I have been reading it this week whilst I’ve been off work unwell. I don’t know that I would have had time to otherwise to be honest. It would be great if lots of people did respond to the call for feedback. Click here if you are interested. Yes, you have to register, yes, it’s a lot of reading… if you’re not in the education ‘field’, there are probably words you’ll have to look up~but really, if you’ve ever complained about schools, teachers or education today…. I think …. here’s your chance! These are the documents that teachers in your kids classrooms will use to guide the learning that happens in the classroom.
I hope there is a great diversity of ideas and feedback. I have my own ideas, but I believe everyone does, and that’s how things can improve. We need to express ourselves about the important things. There are only a couple of days left to do it and I’m sorry really that I didn’t share this earlier, but I honestly hadn’t had a chance to check it out.
I watched something awesome this week on TED talks. “Sir Ken Robertson:Bring on the Education Revolution” says it all. I loved what he said. I felt less alone in my thinking. Watch it:
His previous appearance at TED talks “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” is also well worth a watch and perhaps should be viewed first.
I am very excited about the potential for the future of education, but I want to yell “HURRY UP” at times.

Good for someone NOT in the educatkion “field” to see someone who is, that seems quite progressive and interested in their work. Most that I know basically “hate” being teachers and wouldnt be interested in this.
