25.01.2022 Today marks the end of a nearly 9 month process in assessment design. The educators on my team have been so generous in sharing their wisdom - I've learned so much and am really grateful for having had the opportunity. Looking forward to applying what I've learned.

16.01.2022 Advocates for the provision of the Chinese language in Australian schools face such an uphill battle! 'Mandarin is too hard' 'It's not fair - there are too many native speakers' 'It doesn't scale well - what's the point?' (although this one is true of all languages...)... And then there is the matter of politics... The media coverage of the rising tensions between Beijing and Canberra does so little to encourage respect and understanding. Thank God our Chinese teachers have got that covered! In my view, the desire to learn a language and its culture should not be subverted by the governments of the day- if anything, it should be encouraged. Are young Australians being turned off China as diplomatic ties grow frostier? http://www.abc.net.au//are-young-australians-bein/12606304

14.01.2022 A significant step today!

05.01.2022 Great to present to another group of dedicated language teachers at the AISNSW the other day. I'd forgotten how diverse the background of lang teachers can be and some of the scenarios they are coming from. I worked with this one guy, a lovely Visual Arts teacher who had been thrown the languages portfolio because he happens to speak Spanish... And, because he speaks it, he must know how to teach it, right? Anyway, it was humbling to see how dedicated they all were and we ended up getting loads done Am back in at the AISNSW on the 19 October, running a course on Stage 6 school-based assessment. Really looking forward to presenting in that amazing space again- very slick indeed!
