Finding ways of hooking students into learning. The hook is very important. Enquiry based learning with the teacher being the facilitator is the way to go. All these objectives, goals nonsense are irrelevant.

When I was at school (many moons ago) I did learn things. I think the powers of education at federal and state level are chasing their own tails. Education should be teacher-driven.
