Schedule of Events - Monday, 13 SeptemberBringing the Australian National History Curriculum to Life |
8:30 AM - 9:00 AM
Coffee, Tea and Registration 9:00 AM - 10:15 PM In this opening session, Jamie leads the group through a number of activities designed to highlight the key process goals of the curriculum and illustrate the considerable Pro-D required to make curiosity and imagination ongoing realities for the history classroom. 10:15 - 10:45 10:45 - 12:30
12:30 - 1:30 PM 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM Six More Strategies to Spark Curiosity, Engagement and Imaginations
Note: Each of these strategies can take some time to master as a teacher. Today's session is meant to provide some samples of such learning but the number of hours is not sufficient to establish mastery of the techniques involved. That mastery is best achieved over time as teams of teachers work together in study groups, sharing stories of difficulty and triumph, honing the necessary skills, translating theory into practice. |
