We’re increasingly using digital devices for our written communications, but researchers from Edith Cowan University here in Australia have recently highlighted the ongoing importance of explicitly teaching both handwriting and keyboarding skills to students, starting in the primary years. Lead researcher Dr Anabela Malpique joins us for today’s episode of The Research Files. She’s a Senior Lecturer in Literacy at the School of Education at ECU, and we’ll be chatting about the findings of a meta-analysis comparing the effects of writing by hand or keyboarding on primary students’ writing performance, and a follow-up study with grade 2 students in Western Australia. She’ll also be sharing some tips for how teachers in the classroom, and in collaboration with families, can help students become hybrid writers.

Helping students become hybrid writers

Welcome to Episode 10 of the School Assembly podcast series, where we explore what it takes to build a school from the ground up. In Series 2 we’ve been following Jo Camozzato and the team at the dual campus Bemin Secondary College in the Melbourne suburb of Truganina. Our topic for this episode is staff collaboration – we’ll be talking about how you foster that with a completely new team, setting aside time for collaboration, uncovering and sharing staff expertise, and how feedback informs planning.

Teacher Awards 2024: Nominations are now open!

If you listened to last month’s episode of Teacher Staffroom, you’ll remember we spoke about new research that found the attendance of a year 9 student experiencing disadvantage can be a key indicator of whether or not they complete year 12. The report said that closely monitoring student attendance is important, but what strategies can schools implement to ensure they’re supporting students to have high attendance? We’ve explored some recent international research on this topic, and also looked at how one school in Australia is focusing on attendance. So, in this episode of Teacher Staffroom I’ll be bringing you up to speed on this content and, of course, I’ll also bring you a couple of my other personal highlights.
