WASSA has been having a chin wag with other social studies enthusiasts at the biannual social science conference in Chrischurch today. Stuck in the mind is the comment from one key note speaker who questioned policies that are driven by "the price of everything rather than the value of something"...
Stop press (that's what a blog is about, right?)... rumblings afoot in the Social Studies association....the proposed aim is to have a web platform from the Aotearoa New Zealand Federation of Social Studies Associations (ANZFSSA) while still promoting regional clusters and the like. This means from 2011 schools are likely to be paying a subscription to the national body, in return for some good 'stuff' in return.
Obviously WASSA is very interested in your opinion on what 'stuff' a national subject association should offer to schools. Post your TOP 3 wishlist (perhaps ask your colleagues what their subject associations offer them) below, and WASSA will feed it back to ANZFSSA.
