Unlocking The Great Secret: Writing Reveals Thinking

Over the past twelve months, I have been working with a group of Australian teachers in the mid-primary school, and with children of about the age of eight. The study which initiated this work is aimed at reviewing classroom practice in teaching and assessing literacy across the country. It involved getting the teachers to comment on their teaching philosophies, classroom strategies and assessment criteria, and a large selection of these comments will eventually be published for other teachers to share.
