<P class=MsoNormal>Dear colleague<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>After much deliberation, I have decided to depart from the
role of Curriculum Manager, Design and Technology that I have had for the past
12 years at the VCAA. I am very much looking forward to spending more time with
my family and pursuing other activities. I have really enjoyed working with the
many talented and committed teachers in the technology learning area over the
years, both in my teaching career and as the curriculum manager. It has been
very rewarding to see the creativity of the talented students in Top Designs and
at other exhibitions and to learn of the pathways students who have studied
subjects in our area pursue in related and diverse fields such as agriculture,
hospitality, fashion design, engineering and furniture making. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I would like to sincerely thank the VCAA State Reviewers,
Assistant State Reviewers, Examination panels and assessors, Top Designs
Selection Panels, teachers who have provided student work samples for VCAA
projects, committee members of subject associations (DATTA Vic, Home Economics
Victoria, HEIV (Vic) and VAAHE) and professional development presenters who have
all supported teaching and learning in technology education in Victoria. It has
been a great privilege to work with you all. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Leanne Compton has been appointed to the position of
Curriculum Manager, Design and Technologies commencing January 2013. Leanne has
a background in home economics education and digital learning. She has taught
food technology in both rural and metropolitan schools, and also lectured at
universities. Leanne also worked on the Curriculum Corporation Values project.
She has worked for the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development
in the Digital Learning unit where she led the 1-to-1 learning project that
included running professional learning across all curriculum areas with a focus
on supporting teachers to use ICT to optimise learning and teaching in the
classroom. Leanne is both a national and state past president of the Home
Economics Institute of Australia and has contributed to the development of the
Australian Curriculum: Technologies as a member of the National Panel. She has
authored VELS and VCE textbooks in food technology and has been involved in
writing study design Advice for teachers and has been a member of examination
setting panels and as an examination assessor. I know you will join with me in
congratulating Leanne and welcoming her to new role. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As I will be finishing up on 31 December, I’d like to wish
you all the best for the festive season and for the future. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
