What is the TEACHERS’ TOOLKIT magazine?
Teachers’ Toolkit is a full-colour magazine published four-times per year and distributed free to over 80 000 primary classroom teachers throughout Australia. Each edition arrives in schools in the first month of each school term.
Teachers’ Toolkit integrates learning in the classroom with resources beyond the classroom and provides:

• practical, classroom-friendly ready-to-use teaching plans, ideas and activities across all key learning areas that are easy to implement into everyday programs, while meeting the demands of various educational curricula
• clear links between classroom needs, education beyond the classroom and curricula documents. Important topics, special periods and days, and interesting units are highlighted throughout the year where teachers are looking for additional support, e.g. National Bike Safety Week, World Environment Day, dental care, sport and nutrition, renewable energy, etc.
• information on the latest resources for schools
• destinations to visit for learning outside the classroom experiences
• web-based research projects for students
• great educational websites for teachers and students to visit
• opportunities for teachers to submit and share their own teaching units with other teachers

Teachers’ Toolkit is mostly targeted at teachers of students aged 5-13 years of age although easily adapted to higher and lower levels.
Created and written by classroom teachers and education-linked companies and organisations in conjunction with a highly experienced educational publisher.

Background

• Teachers’ Toolkit magazine assists busy teachers who are constantly looking for additional and immediate support for their classroom programs.
• The teaching units and articles in this magazine provides teachers with many ways to tackle often under-resourced, though educationally important topics and subjects in a manner that is both creative and exciting for themselves and their students.
• For those companies and organisations who have school education as part of their Vision and Mission Statements, the value of using the magazine’s excellent teaching resources linked with a variety of ‘outside the classroom assistance’, to enable teachers to make best use of the many resources that might not be otherwise known or familiar to them.
• While helping to get the message across in a comfortable and non-threatening manner, the sponsor’s support for the magazine will result in a greater awareness and understanding of the educational value of their resources, products and services, resulting in a positive gain for all parties, including that of primary school students.
• Much promotional and educational literature that arrives in schools doesn’t always get to the classroom teacher and might only find its way to the staffroom table or get archived in school libraries. Teachers’ Toolkit goes to every teacher.
• In the 2006 editions, there will be an insert section for specific resources for teachers in each state in addition to the teaching units and resources that have a national focus.
• No other educational teacher magazine provides the practical classroom support as offered in TEACHERS’ TOOLKIT. THE Magazine for Australian Classroom Teachers.

How to become involved with TEACHERS’ TOOLKIT.

• With the resources of Marloo Media and Stephen Wilson identify and create a full-page or double-page teaching unit utilising the areas that you wish schools to incorporate into their classroom teaching programs. Marloo Media can produce educationally sound teaching units for sponsor’s final approval. Company or organisation’s artwork will be incorporated appropriately. Upon publication, the unit is provided gratis to the company or organisation for its own use.
• The company or organisation creates its own article (adhering to the magazines specifications) and submit the full text with artwork as it is to appear in the sponsored article. Dimensions, word count., technical and graphical information will be supplied.
• Advertise. Choose from a half-page or full-page advertisement or an advertorial promoting some aspect of your business (products and/or services) appropriate for schools to incorporate, access or be aware for their teaching programs. While it is preferred that the company or organisation creates the advertisements, Marloo Media can offer the service to create the piece based on the copy and graphics supplied.
