Reader's Theatre is a unique and exciting way of increasing reading fluency and comprehension while engaging students of different reading levels and abilities in concepts from across the curricula.

Science provides the means by which learners can interact with the world around them and develop ideas about the phenomena they experience. To be able to learn science in this way, students need help in developing process skills to investigate, and communication skills to question and discuss findings. The specific aim of Inside the Black Box: Science is the improvement of science education, so ideas are put in the context of the aims and expectations of science teaching. The book sets out in detail the research findings on four main ways of practising formative assessment found to be both workable and productive with teachers of science, and it shows teachers how to develop formative work within a science faculty in a school.

Inside-Out covers topics such as using topographic maps to better understand landforms, exploring the physical landscape of a local area, learning how water sustains biological organisms, and discovering the relationship between soil conditions and local flora - employing both field- and classroom-based lessons to convey important environmental science concepts.

The Brigance: Screens III Bundle 3-5 Years is designed to be used by all persons engaged in Early Childhood Education from 3-5 years. If used correctly, screens and assessments will produce valid results, enabling identification of a child’s developmental age and suggest appropriate interventions to help improve skills across a wide range of domains, ensuring all children are ‘school ready’. This bundle contains: Brigance: Screens III: Screen 3-5 Years (CA14296),  Brigance: Screens III: Data Sheet 3-Year-Old (CA14308),  Brigance: Screens III: Data Sheet 4-Year-Old (CA14310),  Brigance: Screens III: Data Sheet 5-Year-Old (CA14312) and Brigance: Screens III: Technical Report (CA14300).

The Sight Word literacy readers have been divided into themes to introduce new concepts to children. The Science set introduces topics such as weather, health, plants and animals that engage the students while they are learning to read.

This bundle will allow screening of children from 5-6 years to determine their developmental age. Based on the results of the screen children can be assessed at a deeper level using the IED III. Interventions can then be introduced using the Readiness Activities. Once the interventions are complete, children can be re-screened to determine growth in developmental age and to ascertain if further interventions or referrals are required. Examples of persons who might use this kit include but are not limited to Maternal Health Nurses, Doctors, Paediatricians, Kindergarten and Early Childhood teachers and Child Care workers. A degree in Psychology is not required to administer either the Screens III or the IED III.

The BRIGANCE Inventory of Early Development III is a comprehensive collection of valid, reliable and well-researched developmental assessments for students from birth up to the developmental age of seven. The IED III offers a complete range of information on a student's developmental skill levels as demonstrated under real-life, everyday conditions. Because skills within assessments are developmentally sequenced from the easiest items (earliest mastered skills) to more difficult ones, a student's present level of performance can be pinpointed along the skill continuum. The Brigance IED III: Special Education Classroom Kit includes the Brigance IED III: Special Education, twenty Brigance IED III Record Books, and the Brigance IED III Accessories Kit, all collected in a durable Brigance bag.

The BRIGANCE Inventory of Early Development III is a comprehensive collection of developmental assessments. The IED III Early Childhood Edition helps early childhood educators: address ongoing developmental assessment requirements; provide appropriate child assessment; determine a child's specific strengths and needs to support individualised instructional planning; gather valid data on progress; evaluate school readiness by tapping predictors of school success; communicate a child's development; and support referrals for further evaluations or special services. The Brigance IED III: Early Childhood Classroom Kit includes the Brigance IED III: Early Childhood, twenty Brigance IED III Record Books and the Brigance IED III Accessories Kit, all collected in a durable canvas Brigance tote bag.

The BRIGANCE Inventory of Early Development III Standardised, or IED III Standardised, is a selection of 55 key assessments that span the crucial domains of child development and learning. The valid, reliable and well-researched developmental assessments of the IED III Standardised have been standardised and validated on a normative sample of children from birth up to seven years of age. The IED III Standardised produces a complete range of information about a child's early developmental and academic skill mastery.

The Brigance: Screens III Bundle 0-35 Months will enable assessors to readily identify children who may be developmentally delayed and children who may be developmentally advanced, and, therefore can support early intervention as needed. Examples of persons who might use this bundle include, but are not limited to Maternal Health nurses, Doctors and Paediatricians. A degree in Psychology is not required to administer the screens. This bundle contains: Brigance: Screens III: Screen 0-35 Months (CA14294), Brigance: Screens III: Data Sheet Infant (CA14301), Brigance: Screens III: Data Sheet Toddler (CA14303), Brigance: Screens III: Data Sheet 2-Year-Old (CA14305), Brigance: Screens III: Technical Report (CA14300) and Brigance: Screens III: Box of Materials (CA8651)
