Holidays. Brilliant, but also time for working on everything school. Planning, prepping, assignments and add in family. Easy as :) Time to keep creating! I keep seeing these fabric elephants coming up on my Face book feed. They are so cute so obviously I will make one. And I did. It took me a little while to work out as I didn't have a pattern but only a picture. Searching on pinterest and youtube I eventually found something. I have made 3, given one away, the dog ate one and I have one left. I love being able to make things that I see. I don't let not having a pattern stop me. I will try everything once. It keeps the brain active. I want to be able to instil that into my students and classroom. Give it a go! What is the worst that can happen? It doesn't work oh well try again. Allowing students to feel confident to make mistakes is a really big part of gaining their trust and building confidence in them to want to try.

Education Ministers have agreed on a new national declaration on education goals for all Australians. Known as the Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration (the Declaration), it sets out the national vision for education and the commitment of Australian Governments to improving educational outcomes.

Mparntwe (pronounced M-ban tua) is the Arrernte name for Alice Springs. The Aboriginal Arrernte (pronounced arrunda) people are the traditional custodians of Alice Springs and the surrounding region.

Building on the success and impact of the 2008 Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians, Ministers agreed that education should continue to promote excellence and equity and enable all Australians to become conﬁdent and creative individuals, successful learners, and active and informed community members.

The Declaration includes some significant changes to ensure Australia's education system continues to provide the best opportunities for young Australians in a rapidly changing world. The Declaration places students at the centre of their education by emphasising the importance of meeting the individual needs of all learners, and outlines education's role in supporting the wellbeing, mental health and resilience of young people.

Reflecting the changing nature of education, the economy and work, the refreshed goals articulate the knowledge and skills required for the 21st century, the importance of learning throughout life from early childhood onwards, and the need for effective transitions between all stages of learning.

Ministers acknowledged the challenge of meeting the declaration's ambitious goals and committed to delivering on the eleven areas for action which include supporting educators, strengthening early childhood education, promoting world-class curriculum and assessment and specific actions for the primary, middle and senior years of school.

Through the Declaration, Australian Governments also renewed their commitment to celebrating and learning from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledge and histories and ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are supported to imagine, discover and unlock their potential.

The Declaration was developed following extensive consultations around the country with young people, educators, education and training providers, parents, business and industry. The review received over 260 written submissions and over 900 people took part in consultation events and/or provided submissions.

Within the Design and Technologies areas, Sustainability is the most consistent connection. It seems obvious that home ecers can link this into food specialisation but introducing this into textiles has been a bit more challenging. Understanding their own impact and perspective can be introduced through the "Fast Fashion" concept and how the world uses and disposes of textiles.

Equity and equality are areas that ICT can become the bridge between understanding and being able to be part of the classroom environment. By allowing students the availability and access to a digital pathway, you are increasing the success in your classroom. We all learn in our own ways and having opportunity to expand how we can achieve success if the type of pedagogy I want to share and develop.

Assistive technology has widespread acceptance as a support strategy within international, national and state initiatives. In the education context, research recognises the potential of assistive technology to support access to learning, engagement and achievement for a range of students with diverse learning needs.

Assistive technology in education is any hardware, software or system of technical components and processes that enhances the capacity for all students to engage more effectively with the curriculum and their learning environment. This can range from "high tech" technology, such as electronic devices or power wheelchairs, to "low tech" devices such as a pencil grip, supportive seat or a simple switch.

Assistive technology can support teachers to provide teaching and learning that is accessible to all students. Assistive technology supports students with diverse learning needs within an inclusive learning environment by:

delivering information to students in a way that is more appropriate to their needs

changing the way a student can interact with the curriculum and their environment

providing a more appropriate and accessible way for students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the curriculum.

Schools use a range of assistive technologies based on individual learner needs. Options may include:

alternative access for students who have limitations in physical strength, movement and coordination (for example pencil grips, switches, supportive seating)

alternative keyboard for students who find a conventional keyboard challenging (for example keyboard with larger or smaller keys, remote keyboard, onscreen keyboard)

alternative mouse for students who have difficulty using a regular mouse (for example trackball, joystick, smaller mouse)

alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) systems for students with complex communication needs (for example speech generating device, communication app for tablet device)

literacy support software for students where written information is a barrier to their learning and engagement (for example text to speech, speech to text, word prediction)

visual supports to assist students to understand concepts and organise ideas, as alternative ways to deliver information to students with low vision (for example software that magnifies text, graphic organiser, visual timetable).

Assistive technology enables people to live healthy, productive, independent, and dignified lives, and to participate in education, the labour market and civic life. Assistive technology is an umbrella term covering the systems and services related to the delivery of assistive products and services. Assistive products maintain or improve an individual's functioning and independence, thereby promoting their well-being. Hearing aids, wheelchairs, communication aids, spectacles, prostheses and memory aids are all examples of assistive products. ( World Health Organisation, 2016)

Specialised equipment

In schools, specialised equipment is one form of assistive technology which is available to reduce or remove the barriers to curriculum access. Schools may provide specialised equipment for students with disability to support them to access their education program if recommended by a qualified professional. This equipment is retained as a school resource and can include:

devices to help with the functions of daily life, such as eating utensils, dressing aids and bathroom supports

aids to help with communication, such as magnifiers, pointers, hearing supports, switches and speech-generating devices

devices to help with stabilising and supporting the student such as furniture adaptations and positioning equipment

equipment to help with mobility, such as wheelchairs, scooters and walkers.

The education team may recommend specialised equipment that could help a student participate in school. Specialist staff may also assist to assess a student's needs, trial and recommend specialised equipment.

If parents or carers have requirements regarding specialised equipment to support their child in their education program, it is recommended that they contact the Principal of the school or the Principal Education Officer Student Services (PEO SS) in their local regional office. This ensures a collaborative approach to support the individual learning needs of students.

Thank goodness for progress, this was a little hard to watch. Once upon a time Home Ec was perceived as a subject for home makers, but as the teacher explains the information that is taught is relevant to everyone. Food safety, nutrition, and many other factors. An interesting look at history and how much we have changed.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​QLearn is the department's new digital learning management system for student learning that has replaced The Learning Place.

QLearn is a simple, engaging and reliable learning ecosystem that can support every student and learner at every stage of their learning journey.

The QLearn Learning Ecosystem is comprehensive and includes the following.

​

Importantly, QLearn integrates seamlessly with MS Office 365 allowing for the best of both worlds. Students can use MS Office 365 documents, spreadsheets or presentations for Canvas Collaborations.

The following are coming later this year.

Students

QLearn supports students' different learning needs

QLearn integrates with a number of the department's enterprise platforms.

QLearn enables differentiated learning by delivering:

capacity for both synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities. Being real-time, synchronous learning allows students to engage with class materials and their peers at the same time, giving them a more immersive connected environment. With asynchronous online learning, students have the flexibility to learn in their own time at their own pace

learning pathways within learning material, with progress guided by meeting requirements and achieving prerequisites

Mastery Paths so that teachers can layout different learning pathways within modules related to student capacity and ability. This can help increase student choice and meet learners where they are.

Later in 2023, adaptive learning system Cerego will be included to leverage cognitive science and artificial intelligence (AI)​ which will strengthen knowledge retention and skill development for individual students.

QLearn is preparing students for the future

Later in 2023, students will have access to an eportfolio through Canvas Student ePortfolios. This can be used to collect, curate and showcase the results of learning activities in QLearn, as well as in outside activities. Using an ePortfolio will encourage thoughtful reflection on learning outcomes and experiences.

Students will also have access to Canvas Credentials. This will enable badges to be earned for achieving learning milestones in QLearn and these milestones can be connected in pathways to guide and reward student learning.

Learning is a partnership with parents

Coming later in 2023, parents with a QParents account will have observer access to their child's learning in QLearn, enabling them to:

keep up to date with their child's learning via notifications

plan for a successful year by viewing the course calendar

be more engaged in their child's classroom activities

track their child's learning progress via access to assignment, feedback and grades.

The quality of discussion between the school and home will grow with increased visibility and in doing so, will contribute to each child reaching their potential.

A great way to review your classrooms retention by playing a game of Blooket. This is a great tool for customising your terms focus and you can create a Blooket specifically for your students on nutrition, food groups or methods of cooking. The students enjoy the ability to rob each others points and the competitive side pushes students to interact at another level.

The Eat for Health Program provides up-to-date advice about the amounts and kinds of foods that we need to eat for health and wellbeing. The recommendations are based on the latest scientific evidence, developed after looking at all the good quality research.

These calculators can estimate your energy (kilojoule) needs, nutrient requirements and the number of serves from the Five Food Groups you need daily.

The Energy Requirements Calculator estimates your daily energy requirements for good health based on what your body needs for breathing, circulating blood, digesting food and physical activity.

The Nutrients Calculator helps estimate how much of each nutrient is needed per day by healthy individuals to maintain their health and wellbeing.

By eating the recommended amounts from the Five Food Groups, you will get enough of the nutrients essential for health and wellbeing, including a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and some cancers. The Average Recommended Number of Serves Calculator will guide you with this.
