A 'Non-freaked out framework' for literacy
This could be applied in other areas of education as well but this is a cool example of Pareto's analysis of what's important and applying it sensibly.

SK BU2 wikispace update
The school I work with here in Johor Bahru are very proud to have their own wikispace. It is where we post information about the school including the calendar along with professional development materials we use, so that teachers (and parents if they wish) can access these materials.
Recent modules here are our Literacy Workshop and our 'Next Steps - Teacher Competencies' practical yesterday.

Malaysia Boleh
I am very privileged to be working here as an Education Advisor contracted through a company called LeapEd, to the Malaysian Government. We are working on a transformation project in government schools called Trust Schools. To meet accreditation in Year 5 of the programme these schools must meet certain standards across a range of criteria.
The biggest shift is in the Teaching and Learning in these schools and some teachers have come a very long way on an amazing journey. To that end some of the biggest challenges are to meet the AfL and differentiation criteria.
At the highest level this means students need to have far more autonomy and be able to set their own goals, using strategies that suit them and their individual learning styles. To support teachers in doing this it is essential they understand the development and progression of students across the range of skills in their curriculum area. So (or 'jadi' in Malay) to that end I am currently working with a group of teachers in the two schools where I am based to encourage teachers - and ultimately students, to be clear about next steps in learning.
I have found some amazing resources on pinterest and will attach one example with some other links here.
