Jarrod Carter, joins Macca and Paul on air as they discuss his latest article on sharpening teacher tools.

“Recent education reforms in Australia have justifiably concentrated on broad issues such as a national curriculum, the introduction of accountability measures, such as NAPLAN, and the establishment of the national Australian Education Research Organisation.

Yet, there has been considerably less attention paid to instructional materials. The market for these materials has undergone a dramatic transformation due to digital disruption and the surge of open access resources, challenging policymakers, schools and best practices to adapt quickly and effectively.

The Australian Curriculum, or its state-based derivatives, has overarching standards detailing the knowledge and skills expected of students by particular stages of schooling.[3]  However, the classroom instructional resources to achieve these outcomes remain largely unstructured, leaving educators to navigate a landscape of largely-unregulated online resources, contemporary educational theories, or unproven materials”
