A Glossary of Key Words (HSC) This glossary contains key words that appear frequently in Board of Studies syllabuses, performance descriptions and examinations. The purpose behind the glossary is to help students prepare better for the HSC by showing them that certain key words are used similarly in examination questions across the different subjects they are studying. In classrooms, teachers of different subjects could use the glossary to help students to better understand what the examination questions in their subject require. Students should recognise the consistent approach of teachers of different subjects and get cues about how to approach examination questions. For example, students would be better placed to respond to 'explain' questions if, in the context of different subjects, they developed an understanding that 'explain' could require them to relate cause and effect; make the relationships between things evident; provide why and/or how.

But whether it's football, wheeled motor sports or cycling that's most dangerous depends on how you look at it. [Image source: iStockPhoto] When it comes to injuries sustained from sport that are bad enough to have you hospitalised, which sports are the riskiest? It depends on how you look at it, a new report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) suggests. The various forms of football are responsible for the largest proportion of the total number of sports-related injuries in Australia requiring hospitalisation – nearly a third. And of the football codes, Australian Rules and soccer had the highest population-based rates of injury hospitalisation, with 18 and 17 cases per 100,000 population respectively. So is this justification for those who worry when the men in their life – and it is mostly males – play football? The ups and downs of sport
Strategies for Reaching Apathetic Students | Edutopia Alex Shevrin , Teacher/leader & techie at independent, alternative, therapeutic high school Posted 03/03/2015 7:58AM | Last Commented 03/24/2015 7:07PM “I don’t care.” Is it really apathy? If your student has his head down, is nonresponsive, or won’t complete schoolwork, apathy is only one of many possibilities. Is the student having a hard time at home? Often, what looks like a lack of motivation can be a way to hide the underlying story. Is the behavior localized to your class or across the board? Touch base with the student’s other teachers. What’s the big picture, and can the student connect it to the daily details? It’s difficult to stay motivated when we can’t see the connection between what’s in front of us and what we want out of life. When we know what students are working toward, we can help contextualize the daily work for them. Where can you build bridges? If an apathetic student is excited or passionate about even one thing, you have somewhere to start.
