This section contains the professional learning materials and supporting resources which can be used to support teachers in all aspects of Agricultural Science.

Information Processing Workshop

Information Processing Workshop:

The focus of this workshop is on choosing the most relevant means of analysis and presentation of datasets as well as using data in tabular, graphical and pictorial format to support teaching, learning and assessment in the Agricultural Science classroom.

Overview of PLC Webinar 5:

The main focus of PLC Webinar 5 will be to explore critical literacy, as one of the key aspects of section 6 of the curriculum (The Curriculum in Practice). This webinar will provide teachers with an opportunity to explore what developing critical literacy may look like in practice. Sections from a discussion on critical literacy among a panel of teachers are interspersed throughout the webinar, as are examples of classroom practice.

Support Material:

You will need to pause the webinar at various intervals to engage with a range of reflective tasks. A prompt sheet has been developed to guide teachers through the various tasks involved. We recommend that you print one copy of the prompt sheet per teacher/group in preparation for your school closure. Depending on your context and school size, teachers may work individually, in pairs or in groups.

Please note that there is a 30 second pause in the webinar video at each pause point.

Links to all relevant documents/material are available below. You can either access the material online, or download PDF versions of the documents.
