| Synopsis: |
Where is Australian schooling heading? What forces will shape its future direction? How ready are students, teachers, policy makers and education institutions for the challenges being thrust on them? With chapters ranging across the landscape of school-age education, this book proposes new, evidence-based directions for change in teaching, assessment, curriculum, funding and system-wide collaboration. It provides a grounded, forward-looking guide to questions that will be central to Australia's educational debates, and our performance, in the years ahead. Drawing directly on research, innovation and policy analysis at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, this book creates an engaging and rigorous overview of the issues confronting school-age education in Australia, and provides insights and actions to help shape our responses into the future.Contents Part 1 Evolving the purposes of schooling 1 Time for a reboot- Shifting away from distractions to improve Australia's schools - John Hattie 2 The changing role of the teacher in a knowledge economy - Patrick Griffin, Lorraine Graham, Susan Marie Harding, Nives Nibali, Narelle English and Monjurul Alam 3 The state of public schooling - Jessica Gerrard 4 Asia Literacy and the Australian curriculum - Fazal Rizvi 5 Curriculum- The challenges and the devil in the details - Lyn Yates 6 Monitoring learning - Geoff N.
