Reduced workloads |
The pre-filled Edekit Programs significantly reduce the time required in creating new programs and scope and sequences. The ability to copy programs across years enables teachers to build their own body of documents for use in theclassroom. The Resource Bank significantly reduces the time required by teachers in sourcing relevant subject specific information. Time is also reduced when that same resource is required again, as that resource forms an attachment to theparticular Program. |
Sharing Resources |
The ability to share Programs and associated resources promotes collegiality and reduces the barriers across sectors, across schools and within KLA faculties. A network of shared teaching resources supports a state-wide non-school specific educational framework. |
Management System |
Edekit promotes a "Whole of School" approach and more specifically:
|
Disadvantaged Groups |
Remote school locations Remote schools suffer from impaired teaching resource availability, particularly when teachers are compelled to teach out of faculty. Shared internet teaching resources gives all teachers access to effective teaching tools provided by Edekit.Indigenous school locations Similar to remote locations, Edekit effectively delivers teaching resources specifically tailored to meet the special needs of indigenous student locations.Additional Needs Students Programs can be tailored to meet the teaching requirements of those students with additional needs (ESL etc). |
New Scheme Teachers |
A common cry of New Scheme Teachers is “where do I start?”. Edekit Programs provide an effective reliable starting point which can be modified and expanded on as teaching experience increases.
|
Knowledge Transfer |
It is no secret that the teacher population is ageing. There is significant risk that an enormous body of experience will be lost as teachers retire over the next few years. Edekit provides a mechanism whereby this important resource is saved and passed on to those teachers still moving through their careers. |
Savings in Cost |
Costs (time and money) associated with accountability and compliance matters are significantly reduced primarily through lower time requirements. Teachers are able to spend more time in either lesson preparation or actually in the classroom. |
