Kids wander into wonder of imagination
The Australian Bureau of Statistics 2007 Schools Census showed that in August 2007, there were 3.4 million school students, up from 3.2 million in August 1997 with teacher numbers increasing to over 266 800.
And if you had to ask any one of these teachers how long the attention span of a primary school child is, they will undoubtedly respond the same way. They will all agree that children have a short attention span and are easily distracted.Having vibrant, enteresting and exciting teacher resources will ensure that wandering minds can be turned into enquiring minds in the classroom.
Despite the advance of the computer age, teachers across Australia still rely on the time-tested methods of using traditional teaching aids to get the best out of their students.
For over half a century, Australian Teaching Aids have been supplying educators and retailers with a ever-increasing variety of products, from stickers to merit certificates, charts to benchmark books, stampers to novelty stationery.
Picture Year Three pupil, Lachie, practising his handwriting at his desk using his special character pencil and rubbing out his mistakes with a matching eraser. He’s proud of his work, and his teacher is too.She doesn’t give him lollies anymore, but he doesn’t mind. He gets a cool foil sticker for his efforts and takes his merit certificate off to the Principal’s office for signature.On his way to the office, he sees a chart on wall which shows the lifecycle of a chicken.It’s interesting to look at because they are raising chooks in the shed behind the car-park.In the meantime, little Ashleigh has had her maths book stamped by the teacher because she learned her times table off-pat using the chart on the wall. It’s probably the thousandth time the teacher has used her self-inking stamp, which means there are 99 900 more impressions left in the stamper… and it’s re-inkable.
All these products come from Australian Teaching Aids, which regularly updates and expands its range to meet changing teacher and curriculum needs. From stickers, merit certificates, stampers, book markers and labels, novelty stationery, wall charts and posters to educational books, teaching aids are an integral part of the primary school experience.
We all need encouragement, and if you’re a primary school learner, teachers’ aids such as a smiley sticker or a certificate from the Principal should spur you on to greater heights.
