Transdisciplinary collaboration brings together experts from different fields to solve complex sustainability challenges. It requires skills like network building, design thinking, reflection, and social skills. Developing these skills allows researchers to break routines, learn from mistakes through trial and error, and apply abstract ideas across disciplines to foster innovation at the intersections of fields.
How to make classroom an effective learning hub
The document discusses how to make classrooms effective learning hubs. It outlines that effective learning is an active, social, and learner-driven process of construction, monitoring, and review. An effective learning cycle involves doing an activity, reviewing it, extracting meaning, and applying learning to future actions. The document then lists several effective teaching-learning processes like starting with questions, engaging students actively, concentrating on evidence, providing historical context, insisting on clear expression, using team approaches, and de-emphasizing technical vocabulary memorization. Finally, it states that effective learning leads to more connected knowledge, complex understanding, engagement, reflection, and sense of community.
Math and r ti
The document summarizes recommendations from a report on assisting students struggling with mathematics through Response to Intervention (RtI) programs for elementary and middle schools. It recommends:
1) Screening all students to identify those at risk for math difficulties.
2) Focusing instructional materials on whole numbers for K-5 and rational numbers for grades 4-8.
3) Using explicit and systematic instruction during interventions, including modeling, guided practice, and frequent review.

1. The document recommends screening all students to identify those at risk for math difficulties and focusing instructional materials on whole numbers for K-5 and rational numbers for grades 4-8.
2. It also recommends that intervention instruction be explicit and systematic, including modeling problem-solving strategies, guided practice, and fact fluency building.
3. Progress should be monitored for students receiving supplemental instruction and other at-risk students.
Curriculum design models
Curriculum design models provide a framework for educators to plan learning experiences and assessments that help students develop a deeper understanding of concepts. These models incorporate goals, student needs, resources, and evaluation methods. They recognize that simply following a textbook is not enough in the 21st century, where students must learn to apply knowledge in new contexts. Research shows curriculum should be learner-centered, knowledge-centered, and assessment-centered. One prominent model, Understanding by Design, involves identifying important learning outcomes, determining how understanding will be demonstrated over time through various assessments, and then planning instruction accordingly.
Problem solving power point
This document outlines a curriculum project focused on problem solving. It discusses the foundation of applying technology, pedagogy and content knowledge (TPACK) to curriculum and instruction. The essential question is about the role of problem solving in society's evolution. Standards for technology literacy and mathematical practice involving problem solving are presented. Objectives are to apply and demonstrate a four-step problem solving process by creating a multimedia presentation. Assessment involves a multimodal project showing the problem solving process.
VTS Eval Overview
This document provides an overview of an evaluation of an online professional development course for K-12 teachers called the VTS Basics Course, which trains teachers on how to incorporate Visual Thinking Strategies in their classrooms. The evaluation used a realist evaluation approach to develop and test program theories about how the course achieves outcomes for different teachers in various contexts. The evaluation found 6 final program theories and 5 middle-range theories. Implications are that future evaluations should examine other subjects/grades, different school types, and teachers who did not enroll in the course.

Unravelling the dynamics of instructional practice: A longitudinal study on l...
Substantial progress has been made in understanding how teachers design for learning. However, there remains a paucity of evidence of the actual students’ response towards leaning designs. Learning analytics has the power to provide just-in-time support, especially when predictive analytics is married with the way teachers have designed their course, or so-called a learning design. This study investigates how learning designs are configured over time and their impact on student activities by analyzing longitudinal data of 38 modules with a total of 43,099 registered students over 30 weeks at the Open University UK, using social network analysis and panel data analysis. Our analysis unpacked dynamic configurations of learning designs between modules over time, which allows teachers to reflect on their practice in order to anticipate problems and make informed interventions. Furthermore, by controlling for the heterogeneity between modules, our results indicated that learning designs were able to explain up to 60% of the variability in student online activities, which reinforced the importance of pedagogical context in learning analytics.

PROJECT WORK: TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR ASSESSMENT
PROJECT WORK: TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR ASSESSMENT
Project-based assessments are an alternative to tests that allow students to engage with their learning in more concrete ways. Instead of merely studying theory, a hands-on project asks students to apply what they've learned to an in-depth exploration of a topic. You can use projects as part of the ongoing learning process or as a capstone assessment in place of a traditional final exam.
Project-based assessment is often a component of project-based learning (PBL), in which the entire focus of a course or unit is to teach via student engagement in problem-solving and exploration. Like PBL, project-based assessment is student-centered and requires reflection on both the process and the content to be meaningful.

Teaching Mathematics with Innovative Methods
In every society and in every age, a system of education is evolved according to its need and the temper of its times. Actually education means the development of habits, attitudes and skills which help a man to lead a full and worthwhile life. It is not just storage of information. Various teaching methods that can be adopted in colleges or higher educational institutions create a congenial learning environment in the teaching learning situations. The learner centered teaching methods are the co �operative endeavors to be followed both by the teacher and students. Such approaches remove passivity, dullness, non performance of the students. Without much difficulty, the teacher can shift his teaching strategy from lecturing to the learner- centered approaches. Teachers must have accurate knowledge of the subject, ability to bring the subject matter to the level of student understanding, self confidence, ability of expression, knowledge of evolution techniques, ability in questioning and respect for students opinion. The methods like Flanders interaction analysis, verbal interaction category system, reciprocal category system and equivalent talk category system may be employed for better teaching

STEM Parent Brochure
This document provides information and resources for supporting STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning at home with children. It defines STEM disciplines and explains their importance for developing skills needed for future careers. Suggested activities include gardening, building with blocks, reading STEM books, and using open-ended materials. Questions parents can ask children to support language development and STEM thinking are provided, along with recommendations for STEM-related apps, games, books and other resources parents can use at home.
Design Brief
This design brief outlines a project to create a solution for safely reaching items stored on the top shelf of a client's pantry cupboard. The client and others in the home currently need to stand on chairs to access baking goods on the highest shelf, which is unsafe. The design must be functional for different people to use, easily accessible, and not impact the overall function or take up much space in the cupboard. It should match or be hidden from the rest of the pantry and be safely packed away when not in use. The solution will be made using recycled materials like wood and tools already in the home.

Stem brochure
This document provides information about supporting STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) learning at home. It recommends activities like gardening, building forts with blocks, reading STEM books, and playing with materials in nature. These activities help children learn fundamental concepts about the natural and human-made world. The document also provides examples of open-ended questions parents can ask children and lists various STEM-related books, materials, apps, games, and construction/experimentation resources parents can use at home with their children to support STEM learning and skills like problem-solving.
Building a foundation: Unplugged coding activity
This activity introduces preschool students to the concepts of persistence and algorithms through an unplugged coding activity where they build a structure. Students will plan a sequence to build a foundation and draw or write down the steps. They will work in small groups with limited supplies to construct a foundation that can hold a textbook for over 10 seconds, experiencing challenges that require persistence. The activity teaches students to decompose large tasks into smaller steps and arrange the steps in logical order, helping them understand sequencing and the process of achieving an outcome through trial and error.
Simple machines teaching idea
1) The lesson teaches students about simple machines by having them design and build machines into their treehouse designs using levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, wheels and axles, and screws.
2) Students will explore the practical uses of simple machines and generate ideas about concepts like force and motion.
3) The teaching activity has students start with a treehouse blueprint, learn about simple machines from an app, then use loose parts to design and build simple machines into their treehouse designs to accomplish tasks like getting into the treehouse or transporting food.
Simple machines app review
Simple Machines is an app that allows kids to interact with 6 simple machines: levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, wheel and axles, and screws. For each machine, users can alter variables and see how the machine reacts. The app covers concepts of force, motion, inputs/outputs, and mechanical advantage through interactive activities involving each machine. It has potential to stimulate design ideas if parents engage children in questions about observations and what they are learning.
Book teaching idea
This document outlines a teaching activity where students will design their ultimate treehouse. The students will read a book about treehouses to spark ideas and discuss materials. They will brainstorm designs through drawings and blueprints, exploring the process of designing and constructing a project. By immersing themselves in treehouse design using STEM practices like problem solving and engineering, the students will gain an understanding of design processes and using ideas in the real world.
Book review
Everything you need for a Treehouse is a picture book that highlights the wonder and magic of treehouses and the imaginative adventures children can have in them. It details different treehouse designs, going through the planning process with blueprints, how many people will use it, and how to access the treehouse. The book brings readers back to their childhood desire for a treehouse through poetic text and whimsical illustrations. It is ideal for sharing with preschoolers to spark creative thinking and future builders.
GRP
Tamara Hope has applied for a graduate teaching position. She has over 3 years of experience working in a preschool and before/after school care setting. She is qualified to teach early childhood through to secondary subjects including languages, mathematics, science, and the arts. Tamara discusses examples from her teaching placements where she designed lessons differentiated for diverse learners and modified tasks to engage students with specific needs. She focuses on understanding how students learn, using data to inform planning, and creating a safe learning environment. Tamara aims to continue developing her skills through collaboration with colleagues.
Smart goals
This teacher conducted a self-assessment and identified strengths and areas for development in their science teaching. Their strengths included effective communication, safety practices, assessing learning, and engaging in professional development. Areas for development were incorporating ICT, supporting students with disabilities, and including the cross-curriculum priority of Asia engagement. The teacher outlined three goals to address these areas: 1) Incorporate Asia engagement authentically in lessons, 2) Improve use of ICT strategies regularly in lessons, and 3) Connect with the community and learn strategies to support students with physical disabilities in active science lessons.
Introductory statement
Tamara Hope will be doing her professional teaching placement at Jerrabomberra Primary School from May 7th to June 29th, where she will gradually take on more teaching responsibilities under the guidance of Mrs. Blazevska. Tamara is currently completing her Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Primary Education at the University of Canberra, and works as a preschool teacher assistant and in before/after school care. She is excited to work with the students in Mrs. Blazevska's classroom and looks forward to getting to know the parents and students.
J's rubric
This document outlines a student's science skills and understanding in the key areas of Earth and space sciences, science as a human endeavor, and science inquiry skills. It assesses the student as having an informed discussion of how natural processes and human activity cause changes to Earth's surface, being able to identify when science is used to understand the effects of actions, and following instructions to identify investigable questions and make plausible predictions based on prior knowledge.
Edited Evidence of student work progression - J
1) The student was able to actively participate in lessons about erosion and its effects on the Earth's surface. This included conducting investigations on how water impacts sand and soil.
2) The student demonstrated understanding of key science concepts by explaining how different landscapes affected erosion. She recognized that plants minimized erosion the most by absorbing water before minerals could be taken away.
3) The student designed an investigation strategy to minimize erosion and showed developing skills in identifying variables and forming investigable questions based on prior lessons.
