I have been extraordinarily busy over the last wee while and blogging has taken the backseat.  A bit sad really, because the last post has probably been the forefront of my rants for too long and I don’t want to be known as a ‘one trick pony’.  I stand by the comments, but have more to offer than just political raving.  Check out this space over the next few weeks for some real developments with learning and professional learning.  I am getting very excited about our evolving ideas and the emerging leadership of quality teachers in these ‘innovations’.

Even though I promised I would not do it, I will also have some more on National Standards (Yes, these have been released and not without some growing controversy over the ‘mandate‘) and some ways to implement and integrate these where our kids and their learning is at the fore, and not unwieldy compliance and narrowing of curriculum.

So much to blog… and so much sleeping, work and keeping fit to do too.  This environment will become an increasingly important tool for me and I am planning to make it a more reflective avenue for me to continue to grow and learn.
