Subject: VocEd: Online guest -Rethinking Years 9 & 10

Background
Good morning all

thanks to Mike Frost, the guest panel and others who contributed to the discussion on how early children should begin learning about the world of work.

Following on from the "World of Work" topic, it is my pleasure to introduce the next online guest for the VECO community, Jim Cumming.

About our online guest - Jim Cumming
Jim has worked as a freelance education researcher, writer and consultant since 1990. He has undertaken commissioned work for a variety of organisations including national and state departments of education, as well as industry, professional and community groups. A list of these projects are available on his online guest page on the VECO web at http://www.ash.org.au/guest/jcumming/default.asp

Jim will address the topic of "rethinking years 9 and 10", a subject in which he has been immersed through a variety of projects in recent years, and most recently through his work on Community Based Learning.

Over to you when you are ready Jim!

cheers
