Conference Handbook & Abstracts
Australian Teacher Education Association 2010 Conference
Teacher Education for a Sustainable Future
4 - 7 July 2010
Rydges Townsville
Queensland
Welcome
Welcome to the 2010 Australian Teacher Education Association conference in Townsville. This year the
conference is hosted by James Cook University and we are delighted to announce a packed program of
events and sessions. The conference theme focuses on teacher education for a sustainable future. The
theme is pertinent to both the political climate of sustaining a vibrant and innovative community of teachers
of the future and the need for teachers in the new millennium to be leaders in education for environmental
sustainability. The conference theme is also a call for teacher educators to explore ways in which we can
connect across disciplines, contexts, curriculum, cultures and communities to sustain ourselves and the
next generation of professionals in Australia and worldwide.
Conference sessions this year will encompass research presentations, roundtable discussions and
showcase innovations. We anticipate that each type of session will provide opportunities for rigorous
exchange related to teaching education and professional learning. Other program highlights include a
focus on Indigenous education, education for sustainability and teacher standards. The conference
welcome will take place at the Cultural Centre in Townsville and the conference dinner will be held in the
museum. There will be many opportunities for enjoying collegial discussion, as well as the hospitality of
James Cook University and the city of Townsville-the tropics in winter. Bring your hat and sunscreen!
Thank you for coming to this conference and we hope you find it both worthwhile and enjoyable.
Kind regards
Pauline Taylor & Jane Mitchell
Conference Convenor and President of ATEA

Keynote Speakers
We are delighted to have the involvement of our keynote speakers and hope you have the opportunity during the

Dr Ernie Grant, Department of Education, Training and Arts
"Uncle" Dr Ernie Grant was born in Murray Upper in Far North Queensland in
1935 when Aboriginal children were still barred from state schools.
When Ernie was nine years old he was allowed to enrol at Murray Upper State
School which was struggling for numbers to stay open. After leaving school he
worked as a timbergetter and gained his private pilot's licence. In 1963, his life
took a different direction with the arrival in Tully of the British linguist (now
Professor) Bob Dixon.
Ernie convinced elders to work with Bob to record, document and analyse the
Jirrbal language and is still working to keep the language alive today. Taking a
role as a cultural research officer with Education Queensland, Ernie helped to
introduce the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Curriculum to State high
schools and his educational philosophy and framework has had an impact all
over Australia. He is "one of the most inspiring of educators [who] has helped
the education system discover the Aboriginal voice" (Jeff Mc Mullen, 2010).
Ernie's outstanding and tireless contribution to school and higher education was
recognized in 2010 with an honorary Doctorate from James Cook University.
Dr Graeme Hall, Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership,
Australia
Graeme Hall is a Manager with the Australian Institute for Teaching and School
Leadership (AITSL). After a long career as a teacher and school principal in
Queensland, he was appointed Director of the Queensland Board of Teacher
Registration in 2002. In 2006 he moved to Teaching Australia where he
managed developments relating to pre-service teacher education and
professional standards for highly accomplished teachers. Graeme’s role in
AITSL currently relates to the national accreditation of pre-service teacher
education, professional learning for teachers and for school leaders, and
research and innovation strategy.
Professor Bob Stevenson, James Cook University
Bob Stevenson’s research has focused on theory-policy-practice relationships
in environmental/sustainability education and its history and marginalized status
as an educational reform in K-12 schooling.
Before moving to the United States in 1983 to complete a Ph.D. at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison in curriculum theory and research, he was an
environmental education curriculum specialist in Education Queensland. Prior
to his appointment at JCU, his previous academic career was at the University
at Buffalo, New York where he served as Head of the Department of
Educational Leadership and Policy and Co-Director of the Graduate School of
Education’s Collaborative Research Network.
He is a co-executive editor of the Journal of Environmental Education, the
oldest journal in the field, and has served on the editorial boards of all five of the
major English language journals in environmental education around the world.
Among his co-edited books are “Engaging environmental education: Learning,
culture and agency” (Sense, in press) and “Education and sustainability:
Responding to the global challenge” (IUCN, 2002). He is also currently a coeditor of the first International Handbook of Research on Environmental
Education to be published by the American Educational Research Association.
