Vestiges of the past

"let go of the myths and perceptions about who can learn and who can't,"

We are not without our own myths in the profession here in Australia

The ‘Deficit Syndrome’ as a crisis of professional practice and mindset.

The soft bigotry of low expectations

Issues of Inclusion and exclusion in the core learning activity

Classrooms as Psychic Prisions

Tied up by Political Correctness

The Psychological Default Button

Vagaries of Westminster

Australia’s “Christian heritage’’ will be taught in schools in a slimmed-down national curriculum that focuses on phonics to -improve children’s reading. History and geography have been scrapped as stand-alone subjects, in a back-to-basics return to traditional teaching. But 21st-century computer coding will be taught in primary school, starting in Year 5, in the new curriculum endorsed by Australia’s education ministers yesterday. Indigenous issues have been cut from parts of the curriculum, and students will no longer be taught about Harmony Week, National Reconciliation Week, or NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) week.

………….that references to indigenous culture, environmental sustainability and Asia — which are included throughout the existing curriculum, including in maths — had been cut back to “where they naturally fit’’, with an emphasis on history, geography and art.

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though chequered by failure, than to take rank from those poor spirits who neither enjoy much, nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt
