Episode 4: The School Schedule (Terms, Semesters and Holidays)

Welcome back for another episode of "The Homeroom: Educating Educators".

 

In today's episode we discuss what school schedules look like. We compare and contrast how Australian and American schools differ, how much time off children get and when this happens. As always we speak from our own perspectives and experiences as educators and teachers, hoping that it will give you all a little insight into how it all works.

 

In this episode we went on to cover;

 

- School Terms/Semesters.

- School breaks (holidays and vacations).

- Mandated currciulum.

- A brief overview of the main elements in the Victorian Curriculum.

- Government influence in all aspects of education in particular social conditioning and curriculum.

- Is your child really safe outside of your care?

- The film Manifest West.

 

and much much more...
