Acknowledgement of Country

As a reflection of the recognition that AATE and ALEA have of the deep history and culture of this

island, we wish to acknowledge the muwinina (pronounced mou wee nee nar) People, the traditional

owners and custodians of the land upon which this venue was built.

We acknowledge the contemporary Tasmanian Aboriginal community, who have survived invasion and

dispossession, and continue to maintain their identity, culture and Indigenous rights.

We recognise the value of continuing Aboriginal knowledge and cultural practice, which informs our

understandings of history, culture, science and environment.

We also acknowledge and pay respect to members of the Aboriginal community attending this

conference.

Finally, we recognise the role our Associations, and we as educators, have in supporting students’

learning about the living culture and lived experiences of Australia’s Aboriginal peoples past, present

and future.

Welcome to Hobart We are looking forward to four inspiring and professionally rewarding days on the banks of the River Derwent here in Australia’s southern most capital city. Cutting Edge: margin to mainstream From the margin of our continent and the virtual edge of the world, this conference brings cutting edge thinking and practice to mainstream educational experience. Cutting Edge will explore student engagement, creativity, critical and divergent thinking, innovation and collaboration as they relate to high quality English and literacy learning experiences.

NSW NESA Accreditation Registration has been approved for NSW teachers for the AATE/ALEA National Conference in Hobart. Teachers must sign on and off each day at the registration desk. These records will be forwarded to ETANSW/NESA for your participation to be validated.  Completing AATE/ALEA National Conference 2017 - Cutting Edge: margin to mainstream will contribute 18 hours of NESA Registered PD addressing 6.2.2 and 7.4.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers towards maintaining Proficient Teacher Accreditation in NSW. 

Thank you We are indebted to the many volunteers who have made this conference a reality. We thank TATE and ALEA Tasmania committee members who have worked diligently for over three years to plan and organise our Cutting Edge: margin to mainstream conference. Without their commitment and the countless hours of time they have so generously given, this conference would not have been possible. Our national associations, AATE and ALEA, have provided support, wisdom and expertise gained from previous conferences. In particular, we thank Wendy Rush, Lucy Carberry and Jared Van Abkoude from our National Office in Adelaide for their administrative help and support. We also thank our Conference Organiser, Phil Page, for his tireless work. Phil’s conference organisation expertise has been invaluable. Thank you to all of the presenters who have come from across Australia and overseas for the preparations they have made for their presentations and for their willingness to share their knowledge and expertise with colleagues. We hope you enjoy the conference and that it provides you with ample opportunities to network with other educators, to explore student engagement, creativity, critical and divergent thinking, innovation and collaboration and to consider cutting edge thinking and practice.

Conference Co-Convenors:

Erika Boas Margaret Luckman President, Tasmanian Association for the Teaching of English ALEA State Director Tasmania President-Elect, Australian Association for the Teaching of English Australian Literacy Educators' Association Assistant Principal, Ogilvie High School Teacher, Princes Street Primary School

Welcome to Hobart for the AATE/ALEA National Conference

5

HAVING travelled from one continental margin in Perth, to this continental margin in Hobart, I am delighted to welcome you all to the 2017 AATE/ALEA National Conference, Cutting Edge: margin to mainstream. Welcome especially to those

of you from far away – further than Western Australia, further from the Northern Territory or further even, from Melbourne! It is wonderful to be able to engage with such a variety of English and literacy educators from kindergarten through to tertiary level. The chance to meet and talk with delegates from all phases of learning is immensely valuable and I am sure you will find ample opportunities during the conference. It’s also tremendously enriching to be able to network with colleagues from contexts very different from most. Regardless of where we are – be it on Christmas Island, closer to India than to WA and beyond the western margin of the continent – or in Weipa on the Gulf of Carpentaria, or in Strahan here in Tasmania, we are all bound together by our common thread of English and literacy. On behalf of AATE Council I want to thank the conference convenors, Erika Boas, President of TATE, and Margaret Luckman. Together with their organising committee and sub-committees, Erika and Margaret have worked hard and long for more than four years, preparing for what we know will be a memorable and fulfilling conference. I also wish to thank our Administration team, led by Wendy Rush, supported by Lucy Carberry and Jared van Abkoude. Their communication and administration skills have enabled the committees to organise this event with a great deal of nous, flair and expertise. We are immensely grateful to Wendy Rush for fulfilling her dual role as General Manager for AATE and National Secretary/Business Manager for ALEA, in such a professional and capable manner. To quote the conference theme, I know you will find ample opportunity to ‘explore student engagement, creativity, critical and divergent thinking, innovation and collaboration’. In this spirit of collaboration, I welcome you to the 2017 AATE/ALEA National Conference.

Wendy Cody AATE PRESIDENT

WELCOME

It’s that you’ve been able to join us for the 2017 Cutting Edge: margin to mainstream I’m sure you’ll that the program looks exciting from both professional and social perspectives. For those of us who have been involved in literacy and English education for a long period of time, we have witnessed firsthand the movement of ideas from the ‘edge’ to the ‘mainstream’. I am confident that over this conference, you will be presented with thinking, ideas and strategies that at this point in time are seen as ‘being on the edge’. However, I am also confident that this conference will be a vehicle by which this cutting edge thinking and practice will come to be seen as mainstream educational experience and you will be part of this process! Such an impressive program only happens through years of planning and consistent hard work by a wide range of people. My warmest congratulations and deep appreciation to the Conference Executive Members: Margaret Luckman, Christine Topfer, Adrienne Willing, Meree Barber from ALEA and Erika Boas, Daniel Howard, Phil Page and Ellen Rees from AATE for such a vibrant and exiting conference program. We sincerely hope that you all get some time to also enjoy the conference with the delegates. I hope that you take up the convenors' challenge to ‘explore student engagement, creativity, critical and divergent thinking, innovation and collaboration as they relate to high quality English and literacy learning experience’. I look forward to meeting many of you over the coming days. With best wishes on behalf of National

Grant Webb ALEA PRESIDENT
