Shining a light on education and research
Pymble Ladies’ College publishes its research and innovation journal twice a year that features a diverse range of articles written by staff members and guest writers. You can read the latest edition of the College’s research publication, Illuminate: Research and Innovation, by clicking here.
Edition 7 includes many insightful pieces spanning across a wide range of topics, providing insight into current issues in Pymble’s classrooms and staff rooms.
Highlights from this edition include:
- Journeys of curriculum innovation in Geography education with articles from Ray Howells (focus on agriculture) and Liam Hume and Deb Owens (focus on interdisciplinary learning); all of whom are members of our Geography, Business and Economics team;
- Mapping a college-wide approach to internal teacher accreditation and reward by Kerryl Howarth, Director of Professional Learning;
- Starting a kindness revolution through research and student leadership by Kate Brown, Head of Junior School;
- Looking at local history through a First Nations perspective by Ryan Stewart, History and Aboriginal Studies teacher and PhD candidate;
- Other articles including research into HSC teaching strategies, research cultures in schools and teachers’ experience in global mentoring programs.
I hope readers enjoy the insights into research at the College and in education more broadly. If parents or community members would like to contribute to the Illuminate: Research and Innovation journal, please don’t hesitate to email me at sloch@pymblelc.nsw.edu.au.
