ACE isnt entirerly a bad idea, so long as we can build in sufficient scope for local adaptation and inovation.<br><br>I can imagine us moving towards this model but not for the reasons that some might think, With open education and the public examination of all our curriculum plans and documents, we are in a position to better see what other states are doing. With transparency we can expect a greater examination and reflection about differences between Autralian states. Bolt on some good consultation to generate dialogue and discussions about what we are trying to do and then the gears may start turning. The challenge for us all is to keep decisions based on evidence and good research.<br>
