CURRICULUM MAKING, CREATIVITY AND THE AI-ASSISTED CLASSROOM
Effective teaching is impossible without knowing how students learn, right? Just check out the first standard of ‘Know learners and how they learn’ outlined on the Professional Standards for Teachers (APST). This website gathers together the many creative and artistic teaching and learning strategies I’ve used to build up my professional knowledge of how students learn. For the past year, I have been also exploring how AI technologies impact the creation of classroom curriculum content creation.
The Thinking Classroom
Awakening Brain Cells
4th November 2025, Melbourne
We rarely talk about the need for laughter in our classrooms. So, when Dr Seuss states that it is nonsense that wakes up his brain cells, we might begin to joyfully link creative play to the linking of laughter and learning.
Supporting how classroom teachers create classroom materials is not just about worksheets or planning units. Classroom materials are instruments. Like a Stradivarius violin, in the hands of the teacher they can create a magnificent result, the sound of virtuoso learning through students maximising their learning.
Neither can the idea that student-centred and teacher-friendly be trivialised at a time of such alarming teacher shortage. The collection of blogs, free resources and professional learning workshops on this website uphold the love of teaching and learning .
