Updated Teacher Reference Collection 

The Teacher Reference Collection at our library has been updated with the latest professional development books written by leading education experts. These vital resources aim at supporting and guiding teachers to further develop new strategies to increase student engagement, reduce negative behaviours, and improve student outcomes. The new resources cover topics ranging from literacy to essential education for a changing world, teaching reading fluency, behaviour management, Autism Spectrum Disorder, teaching Indigenous students and teaching gifted students. A big thank you to Ms Milloy, Head teacher of Secondary Studies who ordered the new books and to Library Staff who worked hard to accession and cover the books to make them available to EHS Staff.
