The nationalisation of K-12 education in Australia has the potential to have a Jupiter Effect (prediction that an alignment of the planets would create a number of catastrophes) on school libraries and the profession. Government-driven initiatives and projects herald an education 'two-speed economy' for teacher librarians - boom or bust. The report, School libraries and teacher librarians in 21st century Australia, and data from 386 submissions and 13 public hearings provide sufficient evidence that school libraries and teacher librarianship are at a tipping point. This address will present a view on the impact of the nationalisation of K-12 education and explore strategic directions for the profession and school libraries. What will be the future if you do not take charge of your own siesmic shift?

Professor Barry McGaw, keynote at ASLA XXIII Biennial Conference 2013 - The Australian Curriculum is organised under learning areas, which reflect traditional disciplines of knowledge, and general capabilities, which some call 21st century skills. A third dimension provides for three current cross-curriculum priorities that are given special attention in the expectation that, in due course, they will become securely established in curriculum. The curriculum is constructed with content (knowledge, understanding and skills) at its centre. All three dimensions (learning areas, general capabilities and current cross-curriculum priorities) are provided for through the one set of content descriptions, with the online curriculum making clear which elements of each dimension are served by each content description. With respect to all three dimensions, the content is sequenced developmentally through the years of schooling. The content descriptions present students' learning entitlements. Except for a few cases where the content descriptions imply pedagogy (such as in the teaching of initial reading skills which attention to phonics), questions of pedagogy are seen as matters for teachers and schools and, in some cases, school systems.
Guided Inquiry is one of the keys to establishing the elusive collaboration that teacher librarians have been seeking for many years now. This presentation will essentially be an analysis of the learnings of a team of teachers and teacher librarians about Guided Inquiry as two inquiry units are planned, carried out and evaluated during 2011, with the aim of identifying what works and what doesn’t, and the organising principles behind Guided Inquiry, from the practitioners’ perspectives.

The
School Leader’s Tool
for Assessing And improving school culture
By chRistopheR R. WagneR
O
nce thought of as a soft approach to school improvement
efforts, school culture has finally amassed the depth of
research necessary to qualify as a mainstay in a school
leader’s annual improvement plans. Every school has a
culture, and every school can improve its culture.
And school culture may be the missing link—a link that has much
more to do with the culture of the school than it does with elaborate
curriculum alignment projects, scrimmage tests, and the latest buzz-
word reform efforts—in the school improvement conundrum (Wag-
ner & Hall-O’Phalen, 1998). Several authors and researchers (Levine
& LeZotte, 1995; Sizer, 1988; Phillips, 1996; Peterson & Deal, 1998;
Frieberg, 1998) agree and refer to school climate, and more specifically
to school culture, as an important but often-overlooked component of
school improvement.
Assessing School Culture
School culture consists of “the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors which
characterize a school” (Phillips, 1996, p. 1). School culture is the
shared experiences both in school and out of school (traditions and
celebrations) that create a sense of community, family, and team
membership. People in any healthy organization must have agree-
ment on how to do things and what is worth doing. Staff stability and
common goals permeate the school. Time is set aside for schoolwide
recognition of all school stakeholders. Common agreement on cur-
ricular and instructional components, as well as order and discipline,
are established through consensus. Open and honest communication
is encouraged and there is an abundance of humor and trust. Tangible
support from leaders at the school and district levels is also present.
PREVIEW
School culture affects
everything that happens
in a school, including
student achievement.
A simple survey allows
schools to evaluate three
main aspects of school
culture: professional
collaboration, affiliative
collegiality, and self-
determination/efficacy.

Biography: Dr Catherine Sly has taught in NSW Department of Education high schools and has been a writer, editor and consultant for the School Libraries division of the NSW Department of Education. Her recent PhD thesis investigated graphic novels from a narratological perspective.
Abstract: Quality graphic novels can be as challenging and complex as written texts. While the predominantly visual format of graphic novels may readily capture students’ attention, guidance from teacher librarians and teachers can be invaluable in cultivating and refining the skills necessary to probe the depth and richness of these publications.
Attendees will learn how to guide students to discover this richness as well as how to identify specific techniques used by the creators of graphic novels. A close investigation of two selected graphic novels will operate as examples to provide the necessary signposts for teachers to become more confident in the reading, processing, critical analysis and evaluation of graphic novels.

There have been some exciting changes happening at SCIS. Ben Chadwick, Manager of SCIS presented the webinar and showed off some of the new features with an orientation around the site and included some practical and in-depth examples for SCIS users to try.
The development of Critical thinking is central to the General Capabilities of the new Australian Curriculum and essential to prepare our students for an ever-changing and challenging future. In this ASLA webinar, Margo Pickworth demonstrated and explained some of the recent Harvard Visible Thinking Routines that can be applied to a wide range of texts. Using these routines in a library setting can contribute to the development of creative, critical and moral thinkers.
The webinar reviewed the major findings of the Australian Kids and Family Reading report and explored some of the implications for Primary and Secondary schools. The report was based on a national survey of children and parents and explored their reading attitudes and behaviour around reading books for fun.
This webinar presented by Pru Mitchell for school library staff considered critical thinking projects that show students how Wikipedia works, and helps move them from being consumers to creators. Participants evaluated content and citations to consider how Wikipedia can be a reliable source of neutral, verifiable, established background information on current curriculum topics.
Find out how and why you can reorganise parts of a library collection. And, find out some tips if you are interested in genrefying aspects of your own collection
Can you imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge? Every day Wikipedia’s audacious vision comes closer to reality, as humans (and other information services) exploit this top-ranking information source.
Here is an opportunity for educators to learn about how Wikipedia works to realise its position as a ‘neutral compilation of verifiable, established facts.’ and consider what information literacy education looks like in 2015, and how Wikipedia projects provide a way to move from a consumer to creator culture of learning.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
