It is true that a multiple-choice test does not allow for explaining one's thinking. However, that does not mean you should never use such a test. Usefulness is largely determined by the purpose for doing something. Explaining one's thinking is not necessarily a fair way to reveal a student's mathematical understanding. There is inevitable bias towards students who are proficient in communicating (speaking/writing/drawing). Too easily, it is communicating that is being assessed more than mathematical understanding. This circumstance applies to students in all grades. A student who cannot add well could get the answer by thinking about the size of numbers. Students who have worked extensively with place value blocks are likely to think as follows: "The answer is a bit bigger than 1000 be...

All sectors of Australian education are currently seeking to define and promote quality teaching and are developing policies on teacher quality and educational leadership. The national Framework for Professional Standards for Teaching sets out agreed foundational elements and dimensions of effective teaching and provides an architecture in which generic, specialist, and subject-area-specific professional standards can be developed. In 2005, the Australian School Library Association (ASLA) and the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) released the joint publication Standards of Professional Excellence for Teacher Librarians, a document that helps teacher librarians find their place in the professional teaching standards agenda. This article outlines the policy framework u...

Joseph Hardcastle, born in England in 1827, is probably best known for being one of only three individuals to pass the first Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam in New York in 1896. Remarkably, he was just four months shy of his seventieth birthday and received the highest score of those that passed the exam Hardcastle was a regular contributor to various early journals about accounting in the US, and he became one of the foremost authorities of his time on the theory of accounting. Through an analysis of his articles, the goal of this paper is to reconstruct his theories and contributions to accounting thought and history, and to discuss these theories of accounting as related to the "science of accounts" that dominated accounting thought in the late 19th century US.

It's kind of ironic, isn't it?" says Howard Bilenki, who retired last year from teaching math and the Futures in Business course at Churchill. "The ones that seem to be the most financially ambitious are the ones that might not necessarily be as prepared. "Our personal finance section is mainly taken from The City program," de Lima says, adding previous materials on the subject were dated. "It's great, based on the teacher's standpoint, because it's basically laid out for us." Retired math teacher Howard Bilenki, an FCAC-appointed "teacher champion" of The City in Manitoba, says a mandatory financial education class in high school isn't necessarily the answer. "Students are young people and as soon as they are told to take a course, there's going to be that resistance," Bilenki says. ...

Marymound is not a "home for girls." We have served both boys and girls for several decades and our programs expand far beyond providing 24-hour care. We serve over 1,200 young people and their families each year and most of those services are community-based. In addition to group care, we have a school and educational outreach program, parenting programs, a crisis and addiction stabilization unit, many treatment foster homes as well as sexual abuse counselling services. We haven't been a "home for girls" since the 1950s. With regards to Agriculture Minister Chuck Strahl's so-called team of experts, opinions on a dual desk restructuring of the Canadian Wheat Board, too much attention is being paid to theories and rhetoric. Instead, the team should have been looking at what actually happ...
