The Australian Curriculum: A Look Through The Lens Of Christian Education, Adele Faull

TEACH Journal of Christian Education

The development of the Australian Curriculum is an ambitious task that involves meeting the needs of a large range of interest groups, each with its underlying philosophy and conceptualisation of what constitutes an effective and viable curriculum. The context of independent, Christian education systems and schools adds an important dimension to a discussion of the challenges that confront teachers and administrators as we move towards the implementation of a national curriculum. The observations and questions presented in this paper are not exhaustive, but are based on seminars and consultation sessions, discussions with a variety of teachers and subject coordinators, and …

Boys And Behaviour: Alternative Strategies That Support Boys With Adhd, Kathryn Reid, Marion Shields

TEACH Journal of Christian Education

Boys are diagnosed five times more often than girls with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and frequently medication has become the first option in addressing this condition. Many teachers find it difficult to cope with boys with ADHD due to a lack of understanding about ADHD symptoms and boys’ personalities. This research study examined current practices used for boys with behaviour problems as well as trialling a number of alternative approaches such as music therapy, aromatherapy, yoga, building and construction, gardening and computer generated learning. During the implementation phase, teachers were closely observed and then participated in an indepth interview …

The Revolutions We Need To Have, Bryan Cowling

TEACH Journal of Christian Education

There is no doubt that the phrase “The Education

Revolution” as distinct from ‘a revolution in

education’, coined by the ALP spin doctors

before the 2007 election, has been very effective.

Some might say it ranks alongside Gough

Whitlam’s “It’s time” as one of the most memorable

epithets in recent Australian political history.

Child Protection In Independent Schools, Peter W. Kilgour

TEACH Journal of Christian Education

Given the relationship between a person’s emotional development, their faith development and the experiences during the early years of their lives, it is vital for the Christian school to do all it can to ensure that students are kept safe from all forms of abuse. This paper analyses research on the psychological effects of child abuse and gives practical ideas for teachers and schools on how to protect their students, themselves, and their colleagues from allegations of reportable conduct. It considers the value of a person to God and the responsibility that sits with school staff to protect children.

The Higher View Of Education, John Skrzypaszek

TEACH Journal of Christian Education

This paper aims to explore the relevancy of

Ellen White’s book, Education, in a postmodern

setting. Further, it intends to address whether

the guiding influence of the Prophetic Gift is still

relevant to Adventist education. This discussion

is based on the writer’s personal conviction that

at certain crucial times God takes the initiative

to communicate. To follow through such a

position one needs to explore what God expects

us to hear? What are the central themes of His

communiqué? How relevant are they to life in the

contemporary day and age?

Culturally Relevant Approaches To Classroom Management, Elvin Gabriel, Carole Woolford-Hunt, Lionel Matthews

TEACH Journal of Christian Education

Students from various cultural backgrounds may experience cultural dissonance when teachers and educational administrators from the mainstream culture misconstrue, misinterpret or simply disregard their cultural patterns of learning, behaviour and communication. Due to changing demographics worldwide, cultural diversity is the norm for many schools today. It is therefore imperative that teachers and educational administrators become aware of the variances and unique qualities and characteristics of the groups, cultures and languages represented in their schools. This article specifically highlights important sociocultural issues in classroom management and presents effective strategies for managing multicultural classes. Implications for Christian teachers are addressed.

With Jesus In The Family: How Early Childhood Attachment Styles Influence Later Relationships, Both With God And In The Workplace, Kristin Thompson

TEACH Journal of Christian Education

Attachment styles profoundly influence human relationships throughout life, including aspects of religion and the workplace. Individual educators as well as educational institutions take on parental qualities in relation to those who rely on them. Depending on the degree of early parental responsiveness and later life situations, humans live with a basically secure or insecure approach to peers, partners, God, and employing institutions. This article argues that it is important for Christian educators to be aware of this, and that core concepts from attachment theory are verified by current neurobiological research. Research in the field of psychology of religion supports John …
