I agree - Differentiated teaching and learning would be very difficult without a most or all of those underlying elements.

It's a tricky one because differentiated teaching means different things to different people (no pun intended). How do we support those learners with significant learning difficulties or disabilities?

In this podcast episode, Glenn Kayes, Deputy Principal at Kellyville High School in New South Wales, shares how the school’s average student attendance rate has increased, thanks to an evaluation and review of existing policies and procedures, and a raft of new measures.

A focus on student attendance

Professors are finding that they can’t just go back to teaching as they did before the pandemic and expect the same result. It takes more these days to hold student attention, and convince them to show up. This week we’re rebroadcasting this episode that was reported from the back of large lecture classes to see how teaching is changing. The episode recently won a national award from the American Society of Business Publication Editors.

If you listened to last month’s episode of Teacher Staffroom, you’ll remember we spoke about new research that found the attendance of a year 9 student experiencing disadvantage can be a key indicator of whether or not they complete year 12. The report said that closely monitoring student attendance is important, but what strategies can schools implement to ensure they’re supporting students to have high attendance? We’ve explored some recent international research on this topic, and also looked at how one school in Australia is focusing on attendance. So, in this episode of Teacher Staffroom I’ll be bringing you up to speed on this content and, of course, I’ll also bring you a couple of my other personal highlights.

Should AI chatbots be used as tutors? Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, has become one of the most vocal proponents of the idea, and he and his son are featured in a recent demo of ChatGPT’s latest version. But some teaching experts say tutoring should be reserved for humans who can motivate and understand the students they work with. For this week’s EdSurge Podcast, we talked with Khan to hear more about his vision of AI tutors and the arguments from his recent book.

Welcome to Episode 10 of the School Assembly podcast series, where we explore what it takes to build a school from the ground up. In Series 2 we’ve been following Jo Camozzato and the team at the dual campus Bemin Secondary College in the Melbourne suburb of Truganina. Our topic for this episode is staff collaboration – we’ll be talking about how you foster that with a completely new team, setting aside time for collaboration, uncovering and sharing staff expertise, and how feedback informs planning.

Staff collaboration and feedback

As more students question the value of college, more high schools are bringing college options into their walls. In the latest installment of our Doubting College series, we visit a high school where students can earn a two-year degree without leaving the building, and where students can also get a jump on other career options that don’t require higher education.

We’re increasingly using digital devices for our written communications, but researchers from Edith Cowan University here in Australia have recently highlighted the ongoing importance of explicitly teaching both handwriting and keyboarding skills to students, starting in the primary years. Lead researcher Dr Anabela Malpique joins us for today’s episode of The Research Files. She’s a Senior Lecturer in Literacy at the School of Education at ECU, and we’ll be chatting about the findings of a meta-analysis comparing the effects of writing by hand or keyboarding on primary students’ writing performance, and a follow-up study with grade 2 students in Western Australia. She’ll also be sharing some tips for how teachers in the classroom, and in collaboration with families, can help students become hybrid writers.
