Ian Davies - Dynamic Teaching in the 21st Century: Empowering Tools and Strategies for Teachers Who Want to Make a Difference

Dynamic Teacher Tools website

www.DynamicTeachingTools.com

Why the website?

I believe those of us who work at the grassroots level of education can reshape education from the ground up.

I believe teachers are in the best spot to make the biggest impact on student learning and student wellbeing.

The Dynamic Teaching Tools website is an important plank in my quest to make a difference in the lives of as many schoolkids as possible.

How the Dynamic Teacher Tools website works:

There are many, many free teacher resources and learning tools on the website.

For a small yearly membership fee, (actually less than $1 a week for parents and teachers) teachers and parents and schools can access my complete tool chest of educational resources. I hold nothing back in the way of teaching resources from my loyal members.

What you get access to:

• hundreds upon hundreds of free teacher resources
• pre tested printable teacher resources and worksheets
• ready to use school projects
• hundreds of charts, maps and posters designed to liven up any classroom and support student learning
• wellbeing programs for every level of student
• and lots, lots more!

ASIC MoneySmart
Teaching Program for Schools

Ian thoroughly recommends and supports the MoneySmart Teaching program.

Helping schools get MoneySmart

Knowing how to manage money and make confident and informed financial decisions are core life skills.

ASICs MoneySmart Schools Program recognises and supports Australian schools that help their students develop good money habits. The program also promotes the importance of consumer and financial literacy to families and their local community.

Dynamic Teacher Talks: Series 1

A set of six teacher enhancement talks designed to assist you in enhancing your teaching by giving you first hand access to expert opinion on a whole range of educational topics. We want you to find new pathways to teaching success and fulfilment and the Dynamic Teacher Talks are designed to do just that.

Learn from the experts:

Talk 1: Andrew Douch (www.evoleducation.com) In this interview Andrew displays as a creative and thoughtful thinker who understands kids and knows how to inspire them through innovative use of technology.

Talk 2: Randa Habilreh, author of Dealing With Autism. How I successfully raised my child with autism and how you can too.

Talk 3: Trevor Hunt (Secondary School Teacher) reveals the story of a highly successful teacher who continues to evolve his teaching and inspire students after 40 years of classroom teaching.

Talk 4: Rita OBrien (Mypolonga Primary School Principal) showcases how great leaders inspire those around them: teachers, parents, the local community and of course, most importantly, the kids. Youll hear how Rita has created a culture of success at Mypolonga and a series of authentic educational programs which have her students kicking goals in school and in their community

Talk 5: Pete Burdon author of Media Training For Modern Leaders and an expert in helping schools develop crisis management plans.

Talk 6: Terry Phillips, a parent who opens his heart about his own education and his worst fears for his childs education. Listen to Terrys frank and heartbreaking story of watching his son fail at school and learn what Terry did about it.

Arrowsmith

School

Strengthening Learning Capacities

Ian Davies endorses the Arrowsmith Program for changing the lives of students struggling with learning disabilities

At Arrowsmith, we specialize in strengthening learning capacities rather than simply learning ways to compensate for learning disabilities. We have been helping children, youth, and adults with learning disabilities to overcome their challenges and achieve academic success since 1978.

The Arrowsmith Program is based on the application of sound neuroscientific research for over 35 years, demonstrating that it is possible to help students strengthen the weak cognitive capacities underlying their learning disability.

Our goal is to help students become effective, confident, and self-directed learners. Our program is offered at schools throughout North America, Australia, New Zealand and Asia.

Praise For Author

Hi Ian. Well, he says that he knew every answer! Typed 3 pages in fact. How good is that! He is very happy and confident and we are over the moon! Thank you so much for all your time and patience. We did it, we all did it!

Kind regards, from the ecstatic Pope family!

Dear Ian. This is a wonderful achievement for him in any circumstances, but especially given his very limited capacity to embrace the demands of VCE English and study in general. Just for him to have sat the exam was an amazing achievement for you both. I believe a study score of 20 is something to be very proud of. Scores are relative to individual circumstances and his situation is most unique. Congratulations to you both!!

Ros Pretlove, Director, WISA Wellbeing in Schools Australia and former Deputy Principal and Head of Wellbeing
