Reform Imperatives
Both CEMA and NESA recognise the importance of ongoing, high quality evidence based
professional learning for teachers in assessment and measurement
which is linked explicitly to quality teaching and improved student outcomes.
This imperative is made more compelling with the release of the NSW Curriculum Review final report which describes assessment as a ‘powerful influence’ … on teaching and learning.

IEU Book Club: Interview with Dr Anita Collins
This course addresses standard descriptor 7.4.2 from the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers.
Dr Anita Collins in her newly released book, The Music Advantage, draws on the latest international neurological research to reveal the extraordinary and often surprising benefits that learning music can have for children. According to Collins’ research, learning music can give every child an advantage, whether they are not coping at school or are doing well already. Dr Collins sheds light on the techniques she has seen in operation around the world and trialled herself. With real examples from home and school, along with some practical strategies, The Music Advantage shows how teachers can support their students’ educational development with music.
