games, socratic dialogue, brainstorming, field work, simulations,
collaborative, inquiry, modeling, discovery, case studies, debate,
dramatisation, and so on.

on for teachers online and in book form. There are also great resources for

Learning Ideas - Quality teaching resources for NCEA in music
We specialise in providing teachers with quality resources designed specifically for the new National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) in music. Over the last five years Learning Ideas Limited has become the number one supplier of ear training resources to New Zealand high schools. It is estimated that around 90% of New Zealand high schools use resources created and published by Learning Ideas Limited.
The company was initially created to meet the need that New Zealand teachers had trying to adapt to the new NCEA (National Certificate of Educational Achievement) system that started in 2002. Learning Ideas Limited has continued to provide music teachers and students in New Zealand and overseas with high quality ear training and music technology resources. As New Zealand teachers have adapted to the NCEA system our resources have become less ‘New Zealand specific’, making them more suitable for an international market.

Taking Languages from Primary to Secondary
Over the next few years increasing numbers of pupils moving from primary to secondary school in Scotland will have had some foreign language teaching. What is important to ensure that the benefits of this are built on at secondary?
Professor Richard Johnstone, Head of the Department of Education at Stirling University and Director of the Scottish Centre for Information on Language Teaching & Research, is co-director of the independent evaluation of the national pilot projects on teaching foreign languages at primary school Below, in a personal reflection, he discusses the considerations relevant to taking languages from primary to secondary.
OF THE POSSIBLE MODELS for introducing a modern foreign language in primary schools, Scotland has opted for one based on embedding. In Embedding the language is not presented as a separate subject (as it is at secondary) but is exploited within the existing broad areas of the primary school curriculum. Embedding differs not only from subject-teaching but also from two other approaches.
