    EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

    There is ample evidence now to suggest that emotional intelligence is more powerful than intelligence on its own. This program provides teachers with a basic understanding of what emotional intelligence is and how it can be utilised in the classroom to generate a positive learning environment. We focus on why schools are ideal settings in which to enhance the promotion of emotional intelligence and take a look at how children and adolescents express emotions.

    MANAGING INCONTINENCE

    Urinary and faecal incontinence can be one of the most stigmatising and embarrassing disabilities to afflict both men and women in society today. The cost to the individual can be measured in loss of confidence, embarrassment, social isolation, relationship stress and breakdown; not just in laundering and costs of continence products.

    However there is hope for individuals afflicted with incontinence. New therapies, products and appliances, and building design can all assist the individual.

    This program examines management strategies to assist individuals and their carers to maintain dignity and independence. Presented by continence expert Jennifer Hilakari, it includes clear explanations of types of incontinence (stress urge, functional, overflows and enuresis, and faecal) and strategies to assist.

    INTEGRATING ICT IN THE CURRICULUM

    The use of Information Communication Technology in schools is a major challenge. The task of successfully integrating ICT into the curriculum raises a number of questions. What is the role of this new tool? Does it actually enhance the educational process? How can ICT be successfully integrated into what schools are currently doing? Is ICT the change-agent that will take schools into a whole new way of learning? How do students feel about ICT? Is it just a gimmick? Does it actually engage all students, or does it turn some of them off? Through interviews and case studies, this program will assist teachers in coming to some conclusions about the use of ICT and other issues arising from this major change in the way that learning is supported in the modern classroom.

    PRODUCTIVE PEDAGOGIES

    Restructuring of the Queensland education system in the 1990s gave rise to a new educational model - the New Basics Project. An integral part of this scheme was a fresh emphasis on the value of quality teaching/learning, termed "productive pedagogy" which is based on four premises: 1) intellectual quality, 2) connectedness, 3) social support, and 4) recognition of difference. Productive Pedagogies looks closely at this educational model.

    STUDENT-CENTRED LEARNING

    Responsibility for learning now lies with students, who are central to their own learning process, not teachers as in the past. Student-centred learning focuses on how students learn, what they experience, what they bring to the classroom and how they engage. This program addresses what student-centred learning is, how it works and why schools are incorporating it. With comments from educational experts, teachers and students, we also explore the whole school approach to student-centred learning, various strategies to facilitate it and typical scenarios in a student-centred learning classroom.

    THINKING CURRICULUM, THE

    Knowledge is a tradeable commodity and a driving force in global life. Modern learning is about using information to construct new understandings. Students need the ability to control knowledge - to access, organise, analyse, evaluate and use information effectively. This program looks at specific higher order thinking skills - those that can be applied both in the classroom, and life beyond it. Content must be rich and contribute to the use of thinking skills and strategies. We show how a thinking curriculum can be introduced to and applied in the classroom.

    ACCOMMODATING DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES

    It's easy for a teacher to assume that all his or her students learn in the same way but the truth is that there is a multitude of different learning styles, characterised by three main types: auditory, visual and kinaesthetic. In this program we explore these different styles; observe students and teachers in action; learn how to employ techniques and strategies that cater for the variety of learning styles; and see and hear about current best practice. The program provides practical advice to assist teachers in broadening their own teaching practice and enhancing the learning experiences of all their students.

    BOYS IN SCHOOLS

    Around the country, boys in education are in trouble. Numerous reports are advising that boys' literacy levels are poor in relation to girls', fewer boys achieve the national benchmarks and males comprise a huge proportion of students with disciplinary problems and school expulsion. Education, it seems, is not meeting every boy's needs. The good news is plenty of excellent work is being done to address the cause of these problems. In this program, we talk to renowned educational psychologist Michael Carr Gregg about boys' educational needs, see how a cluster of schools in regional Victoria are addressing the issue and take a look at the Federal Boys Lighthouse program in action.

    MANAGING THE DIFFICULT GROUP

    It's a challenge that every teacher has to face: how to handle a difficult group of students. Even experienced teachers can quail at the thought of facing another period with a particular class whose behaviour is dominated by a group of uncooperative, non-achieving students. This program illustrates a set of practical, do-able steps that teachers can implement to diffuse students' behaviour, get them working and bring real change to the classroom environment.
