These priorities are still very relevant in today’s society as the events that transpired in the past continue to reflect on today’s generation of Indigenous people. It is the cross-curriculum priorities that allow for students to gain knowledge about the contemporary issues they face today (Learning across the curriculum, 2016). Without cross-curricular priorities a lack of the skill empathy, sympathy, understanding and respect can occur for different cultures and diversity (Westaway, 2014)…

Cooperative learning and immediate feedback could enhance independent learning and ensure…

As one attempts to answer the difficult question of what exactly creativity in primary science is, it is evident that one must essentially first understand what exactly creativity means. Creativity is a relatively familiar word to most people, one I have learned that is often thrown around particularly within the context of education, with it being seen as something that is important and ultimately essential within the twenty first century classroom, however if one is to simply take time to…

The National Curriculum for Mathematics is an organisational framework which includes a broad set of statutory and non-statutory guidelines that outline what the government deems to be a natural progression in mathematical understanding and knowledge, throughout the primary stage.
