6 WA Division News From the President By Noelene Matthews I hope this first newsletter of 2011 finds you well and happy after a joyful Christmas and New Year. Congratulations to all on the successes you experienced in 2010 from the minor to the major achievements. In the major achievements category, congratulations to those teachers whose students achieved Curriculum Council awards and exhibitions and the winners of the Value Adding Quest. Although it was somewhat of a disappointment that WA only had one O Malley Scholar for 2010, we are very pleased to report that our sole winner is an inspirational young lady who in her thank you speech showed her passion for teaching Home Economics. Professor Christine Ure, Head of School of Education, presented Louise Mahony with her scholarship at a presentation function held at Edith Cowan University, Mt Lawley Campus in August with Louise s family, fellow students, past scholars and HEIA WA members in attendance. A past scholar and member on the WA executive, Kelly Johnson also spoke at the presentation. Both these speeches can be read on the WA website. This year Carol Elias was awarded an Outstanding Professional Service Award by the Professional Teaching Council of Western Australia. This award is in recognition of an individuals outstanding professional contribution to education in WA, made in a voluntary capacity through their professional association. Carol has been a long serving member of HEIA WA and a very worthy recipient. During her many years of service, Carol has been a tireless and enthusiastic advocate for home economics education. With her excellent organizational, management and communication skills and her can do approach to challenges, Carol is a motivating force within HEIA WA. One very important and proactive activity in the later half of 2010 was the three meetings held to provide feedback on the draft position paper Home Economics and the Australian curriculum. Overwhelmingly the participants at the meetings were very supportive of the process and valued the opportunity to provide feedback on what participants deemed a comprehensive and powerful document. Members were also ed to encourage them to provide individual feedback. We are now able to see the outcome of this important document on the website I recommend everyone read this as it is such a strong advocatory document for us to continue teaching home economics. Congratulations to the people throughout Australia who put in a huge amount of effort and time to complete this professional document. This is certainly a situation where being part of HEIA, a national association, is so very important. I know that I as an individual I would never have had the time or breadth of vision to respond with such a comprehensive document, but by being part of HEIA I was able to participate in discussion and was able to voice my point of view and thus was able to contribute. The strength of the document is not only in what it says but in the number of members within the organization. If you have not renewed your membership or are not currently a member, please join as more members mean a greater voice. In this newsletter you will find Technologies and Health and Physical Education and the Australian Curriculum by Marilyn Yates that provides you with a brief background and process overview. Most importantly it provides information on the current situation and what we as part of the T&E learning area need to do to stay informed and provide feedback. During second semester the executive have been working to develop a strategic plan for HEIA WA. Marilyn Yates, as the WA representative on the HEIA Inc. Council, has facilitated these sessions and prepared the executive so that our plan is in line with the national strategic plan. This is a huge task and a document in progress. I hope you are now familiar with our new website that was launched in August. During the year any additional professional development sessions or opportunities will be posted to keep you informed along with photos and information about events, resource updates etc. Thank you to all those involved in the development and running of the site, in particular Denise Cullen. I would like to offer a special welcome to those teachers who are beginning their careers in teaching 6 Westward Home

8 WA Division News Technologies and Health and Physical Education and the Australian Curriculum Marilyn Yates The purpose of this article is to bring a Western Australian home economics perspective to the development of the phase three learning areas and subjects. In Western Australia the terms Australian Curriculum is also referred to as National Curriculum. Background In 2008, MCEETYA - Ministerial Council for Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs (now MCEECDYA - Ministerial Council for Education, Early Childhood Development and Youth Affairs) ratified the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians. The Melbourne Declaration provides all Australian education systems and sectors with a blueprint for progressing education. A key aspect of the agreement was to develop a nationally consistent curriculum across all learning areas, for all students, K-12. The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) is responsible for the development of all materials. edu.au/ Progress to date The National Curriculum will be developed over three phases. The English, Mathematics, Science and History curriculum are published at australiancurriculum.edu.au/home. I encourage you to go on-line and look at them as it will give you an insight into the presentation and on-line support that is provided. My understanding is that there will be some further minor refinements of the phase one curriculum. Draft Year 11 and 12 curriculum in English, mathematics, science and history was released on the ACARA website on 14 May Development of phase two subjects, comprising geography, arts and languages is continuing. Phase three curriculum development is yet to commence, and will include all other learning areas. Individuals are invited to register online at: to subscribe to ACARA update which is a newsletter that is ed to subscribers periodically. Phase 3 Courses Reference: The Shape of the Australian Curriculum, Version 2, December 2010 which was considered by MCEECDYA on December 15, It is now on the ACARA website at resources/shape_of_the_australian_curriculum.pdf The phase 3 course are: Health and physical education Economics and business Technologies, specifically design and technology and information and communication, while providing for learning in other technology areas. It is worth noting that the term technologies is being used in this paper as compared to the Melbourne Declaration.. and other places on the ACARA website where reference to the area remains as design and technology and information and communication technologies. We need to think about the implications for Western Australian technology and enterprise teachers. Also, what would you think if WA was to continue using the same learning area name? National Curriculum Development Process The following is an overview of the process adopted in the development of phase 1 and being applied in phase 2 so it should be similar for phase 3. So once again I refer you to The Shape of the Australian Curriculum, Version 2. The shape paper provides the policy background to support implementation of Foundation to year 10 Australian Curriculum for a given learning area/subject. The experience is that there is constant reference back to the particular shape paper so it is critical that there is national agreement about the shape paper. To me this means that Western Australian T&E teachers need to respond to drafts of the ACARA materials. Process An advisory panel is formed A shaping paper is drafted in collaboration with experts. The shaping paper goes out for feedback The shaping paper is finalised and published and it becomes a framing paper Writers and others develop the draft curriculum The draft is refined through an iterative process 8 Westward Home

9 WA Division News The draft will be published Development of Year 11 and 12 follows about 1 year later Implementation occurs over 3 years Resources and other support accompany the curriculum. Western Australia s intended implementation timeline for phase will be a year for schools and teachers to familiarise themselves with the phase one curriculum and online support and plan for implementation. This may include identifying gaps in present curriculum provision, beginning to up-skill staff and the development of school plans to achieve substantial implementation by Implementation will commence in All States and Territories have committed to substantial implementation of phase one by the end of Timelines for the Year 11 and 12 courses are still being negotiated and will be longer than those for K-10. Curriculum Framework The principles of learning, teaching, and assessment within the Curriculum Framework, provide advice which is relevant to the delivery of the Australian Curriculum. Schools are still required to implement the Curriculum Framework. The Australian Curriculum will provide teachers with the support they need to assist students to demonstrate the Curriculum Framework s learning outcomes. Technologies and the Current situation Julie King from NSW has been appointed Senior Project Officer, Technologies A Technologies informal preliminary workshop was held on 1 December 2010 in Sydney. The focus of the meeting was on identifying the following: the nature of the learning area issues that may arise in relation to K-12 technologies curriculum development other groups and individuals who can contribute to the development process. I understand that 25 people attended and these included the Convenor of the HEIA Education Standing Committee, Dr Jan Reynolds, the President of DATTA Australia, and a representative from the Primary Industries Education Foundation. A focus of HEIAWA work over the next three years will be on the Australian Curriculum development. All members of the Home Economics Institute of Australia (HEIA) received a copy of the HEIA Australian Curriculum Position Paper. We need to look out for the response from ACARA and consider the implications for WA. Below is a diagram illustrating the development of all three phases of the Australian Curriculum. Semester 1, January - July

10 WA Division News PTCWA Outstanding Professional Service Awards approachable, compassionate, thoughtful, strong, energetic and fun are just a few words that describe Carol, a dedicated professional and a very worthy recipient of the 2010 Outstanding Professional Service Award.

12 WA Division News Home Economics and the Australian Curriculum - Thank you Marilyn Yates Thank you to Western Australian members of the Home Economics Institute of Australia (HEIA) who provided feedback on the draft position paper, Home economics in the Australian Curriculum, to the WA Executive. By the time you read this article in the first edition in 2011 of WestWard Home, you will have received a copy of the final position paper and a copy of HEIA News describing the development of the paper. The Western Australian (WA) Division of HEIA held three focus group meetings to ensure a breadth of input from members. Prior to a scheduled executive meeting, the WA HEIA Executive completed a response using the nationally developed focus questions. Edith Cowan University lecturer in home economics education and WA Executive member, Lyn Diamond, conducted a focus group with her students. The third and final meeting was with HEIAWA members and was at Edith Cowan University. There was consistency in the responses to the position paper received from the three separate focus groups. Front Row: Marilyn Yates, Denise Cullen, Miriam Andrews, Kristina Croxford Back Row: Lyn Dymond and Sue Cameron The two photos opposite were taken at the third meeting with members. The WA Executive understands that some Western Australian teachers completed the on-line survey. The development of the position paper demonstrates to the WA Executive the value of being part of a national organisation that can bring the collective wisdom, knowledge, understandings and energy of Australian home economics educators to the preparation of documents that shape the future for Australian home economics education. The WA Executive thanks the HEIA Executive, the Home economics in the Australian Curriculum steering committee and home economics teachers around Australia.

14 For Teachers Value Adding Quest Term 4, 2010 Maria Biscotto The Value Adding Quest Presentation of Awards ceremony was held on Monday 25th October 2010 at Perth Modern School. On arrival, the large and impressive display of student work attracted much interest and discussion from both adults and students. One student commented on how happy he was that whoever did the display made his work look so good. Substantial refreshments were provided and enjoyed in the school cafeteria surrounds. Mr Carl Sanderson, a former VAQ chairperson and long term committee member was the master of ceremonies for the evening. Carl once again excelled in this role. We are extremely appreciative of his time and his ongoing support. Our first guest speaker was Ms Karen Webster who is the Acting Director of Primary at the Department of Education. Ms Webster presented the prizes to the excited General Category winners. A highlight of the evening is that students answer a pre-prepared question. From K to 12 their responses were well prepared and delivered with confidence. Throughout the presentations a large screen shows a slide of the student work. Each year an award is presented to a teacher who has entered student work into the quest for the first time. This award was presented by Ms Marilyn Yates, a foundation VAQ management committee member. This award recognises teachers who have never entered the Quest, but gave it a go this year by entering their student s work. This years guest speaker, Ms Kylie Godfrey, a teacher at Mt Hawthorn PS for many years started entering the VAQ, one year after it started. Her students have been very successful in the VAQ winning many awards. Kylie first entered student work after she attended a professional development session run by Ms Marilyn Yates and has continued to do so. Kylie has also been on the VAQ management committee. Kylie expressed how honoured she was to be asked to speak at the presentation evening, as the quest has been such a part of her professional life and she strongly believes in the value of the VAQ and the positive impact it has on students. During her years of students entering the VAQ, she has seen amazing work and quite a few of her students have been approached by industry to further develop their ideas. Kylie thought it was such a great timing in talking about the VAQ at the Presentation night as she is stepping away from the role of classroom teacher to that of Deputy Principal. We wish her well in her new position. Kylie presented the merit certificates. These were awarded to students who completed great work, but did not receive an award in the General or Special Award category. Our last major part of the evening was the presentation of all the Special Awards from both our industry sponsors and the Professional Associations who sponsor and support us. There were representatives from most of these present on the evening handing out their respective awards to students. Ms Marilyn Yates closed what was a very special evening. The VAQ is at the end of a three-year grant and are eagerly awaiting approval of the next grant so this valuable opportunity for students to be involved in the Value Adding Quest can continue. There will be a new VAQ Projects Officer next year in Ms Yvonne Hart, who has a Business Education background. I will be handing over the reigns after being the project officer for five years, a role I have thoroughly enjoyed. Congratulations Lyn Dymond Scott Michael, a recent Home Economics graduate from ECU, has been awarded the Cyril Cook Prize for Professional Competence for This prize is awarded to the student who achieves the best overall results in a Secondary Education double degree programme. The prize is recognised by the Department of Education and Scott will be entitled to permanency after 12 months service. Scott is currently teaching at Greenwood Senior High School, which is the school at which he completed his ATP. This is the second consecutive year that a Home Ec student has been awarded this prize (Marissa Morris in 2009) and is testimony to the high quality of graduate teachers entering the Home Economics teaching profession. Congratulations Scott. 14 Westward Home

17 Resources Resources Book Review by Noelene Matthews This lovely book has been written and published by Mary Tarrant of Fremantle as part of a quest to keep the ancient craft of sock making alive for future generations. The book is a very clear and easy to follow step by step guide to hand knitting socks and as a not so competent knitter I am keen to give it a go. The sock knitting process is explained in 10 steps. Each step is clearly explained and illustrated and includes many problem solving pointers. I really enjoyed the quotes and stories that are dotted throughout the book that I spent much more time reading it that I had anticipated. As many crafts undergo a revival with younger generations you may have a group or individual student in your school that would really enjoy this craft. I have included the author s biographical details and contact details below. Biographical Details Mary Tarrant is a grandmother, a long time resident of Fremantle and a retired English teacher. She has taught in England, Australia, China and East Timor, and spent several years as an Education Advisor in a refugee camp in Malaysia. Mary is also a craftswoman, having grown up in war-time England when domestic crafts and self sufficiency were essential everyday skills; and she is also a qualified Home Economics teacher. She learned sock knitting by example from older knitters with skills passed down to them through generations of sock knitting foremothers, and her earliest memory of sock knitting is knitting socks for soldiers when a young girl. Mary now teaches sock knitting to beginners and sock knitters wanting a refresher, and finding there were no suitable handbooks, she wrote this one. Mary welcomes comments and questions and can be contacted on: marysocks@bigpond.com Semester 1, January - July
