Success Stories from the Classroom
The 21 stories told in this collection are about successful classroom teaching in South Australian primary schools and show the invaluable role that teachers play in developing sound theory. Each story has been selected from the English Language Curriculum Services Newsletter (ELCS) or its successor English Language Arts Newsletter (ELAN), which have been published over the last 9 years by the Education Department of South Australia. The book is divided into three sections entitled "Setting Up Children for Success,""Learning from Children," and "Supporting Student Independence," and the stories they contain reflect the multiple roles that teachers play in the development of children. The teachers whose stories are included have been particularly open to all they learn from children, testing out their hunches and responding to what they observe children doing. Their stories are a testament to the complexity, challenge, and satisfaction of teaching. (MG)
Primary English Teaching
This comprehensive introduction to language, literacy and learning in the primary school explores the theoretical issues that underpin pedagogical practice in the primary English language classroom in a straightforward manner, enabling readers to understand the resulting practice and curriculum offerings in English primary schools today. The contributors explore new initiatives in primary language teaching, putting these into their theoretical context, and offer practical ideas, helping students to make the bridge from studying to be a teacher, through to the beginnings of their teaching career. Diversity and aspects of special educational needs are also considered in each section of the book. This book will be essential reading both for undergraduate students of education, as well as for PGCE students.
Classrooms of Possibility
This book draws together recent work from a number of researchers and educators who have focused on the needs and challenges of 'At Risk' English as an Additional Language (EAL) students. 'At Risk' students include those from refugee backgrounds, and EAL students who have had minimal or disrupted schooling prior to arriving in Australia.
Standing on a Book
Standing on a book is a bold collection of stories written by students and compiled for teachers, with a foreword by award-winning children's author Sue Whiting. The writing has been drawn from classrooms around Australia, and reflects the lived experiences of children with all kinds of backgrounds and strengths, in all kinds of settings and locations. Some stories will delight you, others will unsettle: they are presented to showcase what's possible and for you to share carefully with your own students. Dive in and be amazed by the diversity of children's voices and concerns, hopes and fears.
Literacy at Home and School
"The guide covers: the foundations of literacy in the first five years of life; current approaches to teaching reading, writing and spelling in Australian primary schools; ways for parents to help children develop as readers and writers at home; the kinds of books to include in a family collection; issues such as homework, school reports and parent-teacher interviews." - back cover.
Grammar and Meaning
The new edition of this bestseller aims to help teachers build their knowledge of the grammatical resources of the English language system and apply that knowledge to their teaching practice. It supports the Australian Curriculum: English and existing state-based syllabus documents, and is designed to complement Beverly Derewianka's A New Grammar Companion for Teachers. Each chapter assists teachers to engage actively with the material covered in the Derewianka text, and to apply their developing knowledge and skill to their teaching practice
A New Grammar Companion for Teachers
The new edition of this bestselling text employs standard grammatical terminology, but it also uses terms which allow for a more functional interpretation. Aligned with the new Australian Curriculum: English, this edition is organised around the main functions that language plays in our lives: interacting with others, structuring coherent texts and expressing and developing ideas. Another major difference is that the content now extends into secondary schooling, dealing with the language challenges faced by older students.
