Summary: Christmas Special: It's been three-and-a-half years since TER podcast started, so for this episode, we've remastered our first ever episode to fix a couple of minor audio issues and get back to where it all began. In our first episode we talk about Gonski school funding, and the policy implications of PISA results. More than three years later, and these are still the issues we're talking about today!Timecodes:00:00 – Opening00:21 – Welcome and Introduction01:52 – Month In Review04:58 – Transitions and sound effects05:22 – Topic 1: PISA data presented by Dr. Andreas Schleicher at Sydney University on 5 July06:50 – The issue of funding equity in PISA data09:50 – Teacher Training vs. Class Sizes12:00 – Issues with reporting in the media15:30 – Results between public and private schools / Stratification of School Systems18:15 – Topic 2: Homework22:00 – Homework in high school23:33 – Homework in primary school26:50 – Homework & Equity31:50 – Homework: the way forward34:04 – End of Episode 135:40 – Sign Off & Closing/Disclaimer Support TER Podcast at Patreon.com/TERPodcast TER Podcast on Twitter Follow TER Podcast on Facebook
