Semester 2 2015

The JPL continues with its focus on addressing the needs of all teachers in public education – considering questions of planning, engagement, encouraging reluctant learners, simple and useful programming and a  video with a direct approach into Shakespeare. We look at what might really be learnt from My School, and we also have a major and profound Message to the Profession.
