Hi Ben and others taking up this text for 2011</p><p>Steven Amsterdam is one of the guest speakers
at the VATE conference on 6th and 7th December, and there is also a workshop on teaching the text.
No doubt hearing from the author himself will be a wonderful resource for teachers. You can access
the program here: www.vate.org.au </p><p>All the best</p><p>Debbie<br /><br />Debbie de Laps<br
