Readings in K-12 Education for Teachers

This course will therefore allow the teaching professional an opportunity to learn more about K – 12 by enhancing their current practical knowledge or what they already know on the basis of how they are teaching through the new system. This course is like a graduate seminar where a collection of readings will be provided, giving the teacher the opportunity to engage with the text and process the text through some post-reading activities. The collection of readings has been obtained from open sources and reflects the tenor of the issues in the year that it was created. There is one reading per year inclusive of 2013 – 2016, which are some of the most recent articles that were obtained..

In 2013, the family moved overseas again when she found a new job working as Program Coordinator for a social purpose organisation in Australia specialising in disability support and aged care where she trains and supports people with disabilities who want to be public speakers, whilst coordinating a small gardening enterprise also for people with disabilities.
