Book Description
There are a lot of redundant processes in schools. We need to take a hard look at these and consider whether they are adding value to the core purpose of schools. We need to apply Greg McKeown's 'disciplined pursuit of less' in order to create the time and space to do deep, satisfying work on the curriculum. This means that there will be some hard choices and recognise that if we cannot do everything, we need to move to a space which acknowledges there will be trade offs. This is more than a workload issue, it is about focusing our efforts on the most important agenda item in schools today - the development of an ambitious curriculum for every child, in every school.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
As a kid, Bernie Shakeshaft's mischievous and reckless behaviour led him to became known as the wild one of his devout Catholic family. It isn't surprising that his path led him to the Northern Territory, a place where people often go to either lose themselves or find themselves. Bernie, a searcher for his purpose in life, found himself. He had many jobs, firstly as a ringer on a cattle station owned by the Packer family, and later as a dingo trapper for the Parks and Wildlife Service. Throughout it all, he drank, he swore, he fought, and took chances with his own well-being. But, crucially, he also developed deep connections with the Indigenous people, and it was these connections that helped lay the foundations for what was to come. He worked for youth welfare organisations, and all the while he built up his knowledge about helping wayward youths, particularly those from Indigenous communities. Years later, Bernie was living in Armidale. He'd been visiting too many kids in prison and going to too many funerals. The usual methods weren't working so that reckless, mischievous kid inside him decided he could do better. He started a youth program called BackTrack, with three aims: To keep them alive, out of jail and chasing their hopes and dreams. For most, this was their last chance. Combining life skills, education, job preparedness with rural work, Bernie threw in one other factor: dogs! And it works. With the help of these working dogs, the lost boys (and girls) find their way back on track. These days, Backtrack youth tour the country competing in dog-jumping trials. Bernie and the BackTrack team are now supporting other communities in Lake Cargelligo, Broken Hill, Dubbo and Grafton and have forged a new beginning for over 1000 young people. This one man is making a huge difference. In Back on Track, bestselling author James Knight tells Bernie's story and the stories of those whose lives he has saved. It is a powerful reminder that we should never give up on our kids. 'This fella Bernie, he's a good fella, a bit of a genius really. What a great story.' - Russell Crowe

Getting Back On Track

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This is a book that is going to rock you back on your heels and get you thinking along new lines. It will enable you to lift up your life and get free of the social conditioning that has been crippling us all for thousands of years. In addition, the book will show you how many of the complications to health brought about by medical procedures and drugs over the last century, based on false understandings, can be resolved. Ten common homeopathic remedues in very high (mega) potencies, can release commonly stored emotions, attitudes, and false beliefs, thus allowing the body to heal itself of a wide range of physical complaints. Read what these crippling beliefs are, how they have allowed us to be led along, like lambs to the slaughter, by the nose, into a cul-de-sac of personal, social, and medical ignorance -and what you do to get your life back on track. Healing your emotions, freeing yourself or your accumulated emotional baggage, and getting your life on track, is not traumatic, not a slow process, and does not require intense investigation into your childhood nor the re-experiencing of harrowing traumas. It does not require hours or years of counseling, psychology, hypnosis, auto-suggestion, religious conversion, past-life therapy, meditation, vegetarianism, self-analysis, relationship analysis, praying, New Year resolutions, will-power, months in the wilderness or sailing singlehanded around the world. Getting Back On Track shows you the true healing. Not the way to unrestrained, detrimental emotions, not the way to violent outbursts of anger of floods of tears of grief, not the way to guilt-free irresponsibility. None of these is healthy, either. What you will get is personal growth, so that new insight gives you freedom from anger, freedom from grief, freedom from guilt, freedom from fear, and with this freedom, a new strength to take positive steps towards your own, and therefore planetary, healing. Jill R. Turland studied homeopathy in Sydney, Australia under the late Alan Jones, and the Australian Institute of Homeopathy, graduating in 1982. She held various positions within the Australian Institute of Homeopathy and in 1987, initiated and edited for four years the prestigious academic journal, 'Sirnilia'. Jill has been associated for many years with osteopaths and chiropractors and has worked since 1990 with Bryan Barrass, an osteopath and chiropractor with a great interest in homeopathy. Together they have researched the homeopathic remedies applicable to muscular and skeletal patterns, and the emotional origins of these patterns. Through this knowledge, many complex, chronic physical problems have been resolved, and understanding of the psychological aspects of common homeopathic remedies expanded beyond existing boundaries.
