The many worlds of Australian Indigenous children’s literature
(Image: Walker Books Australia and New Zealand) Indigenous writers and artists have produced a number of genre-defying picture books that transcend Western literary boundaries. These books are works of art, philosophy, culture, history and language that speak as much to adults as to children. Books like this include: Tjarany Roughtail (Gracie Greene, Joe Tramacchi, Lucille Gill), Down the Hole (Edna Tantjingu Williams, Eileen Wani Wingfield, Kunyi June-Anne McInerney), Maralinga: the Anangu Story (Yalata and Oak Valley communities, working with Christobel Mattingley) and Welcome to Country (Aunty Joy Murphy, Lisa Kennedy). These books are works of art, philosophy, culture, history and language that speak as much to adults as to children. Down the Hole is a resistance story of the Stolen Generations era, speaking to the lived experience of “running from the State”, while Maralinga tells of Anangu culture and history, including the atomic testing that devastated people and Country.

the scope-and-sequence hat
Not so long ago, certainly in my teaching lifetime, there used to be a “curriculum” commonly known as “library skills”. The classroom teacher (occasionally a teacher librarian) would take their class to the library and teach them things like the layout of the library, the difference between fiction and non fiction, alphabetical order and Dewey classifications, the various types of reference books and how to use them, and other similar skills so that the students could be ‘independent’ users of the facility, able to do their own ‘research’ and perhaps cite the source from which they had copied their information. Workbooks and worksheets abounded and the evidence of learning was based on their successful completion. and a host of others including my own expanded version of the NSW model. The core of the NSW Information Search Process model Regardless of the model chosen or mandated, each one followed a similar pattern of skill development… Yay or Nay The scope Information Literacy?

Are Flexible Learning Spaces the Future of Education?
"It's not just what you learn, but also where you learn." There has been a lot of talk in the education industry around the concept of flexible learning spaces. New schools are being built with much more consideration being placed on the design of the learning environment, not only within the classrooms, but also the cafeteria, the library, even the hallways.Bored Teachers had the opportunity to interview an expert in the field of building 21st century classrooms — Danish Kurani – who actually teaches a “Learning Environments for Tomorrow” course at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. His definition of "flexible classrooms" goes beyond the common understanding of a true flexible learning space. Most schools think about flexible classrooms as spaces where all of the furniture is on casters. The Google Code Next Lab in Oakland New York City Schools Howard West Campus - Howard University The Khan Lab School is a testing ground for new learning designs and practices. Behind the design:
