ANSN offers teachers an opportunity to make study tours to schools using innovative thinking and new ideas. A scholarship of $1000 is available to help you to meet teachers making schools better for students and teachers.

Giving teachers opportunities to visit, watch and talk with others in diverse and similar locations is an amazingly powerful tool for professional learning because of the directness of the experience.

The use of video in classrooms has become much more feasible with technical advances such as imovie, firewire and the mini-dv format.

Teachers involved in projects like Habits of Mind and Digital Portfolios are finding video an effective tool to capture and reflect on learning.

There are underlying techniques that will make your use of video much more effective.

Teachers around Australia have been participating in an ANSN research circle involving the implementation of Habits of Mind into schools.
Much of this work has been influenced by Art Costa, a educator and academic from the USA.

Snapshots are occasional papers about areas of interest for Network members.

The ANSN is committed to making available quality to resources to help teachers and schools improve their work.

In this Snapshot Dr. Muareen O'Rourke discusses the implications of Multiliteracies for 21st Century Schools.

This Snapshot on Numeracy across the curriculum is designed to present the latest research-based information, advice and strategies. It is relevant to all those engaged in school education – just like literacy, numeracy is everybody's business. The Snapshot draws heavily on recent Australian research to provide insights into the what, why and how of numeracy across the curriculum.

It will assist those practitioners willing to engage with the issues, to interrogate their own beliefs and current practices and to develop a numeracy-informed culture in their classrooms. It will also challenge and inform those with formal leadership roles in education to acknowledge the importance of addressing numeracy across the curriculum through their inspiration and practical support of their teachers
