Hello classroom teachers everywhere.
My name is Ron Shaw, I’m a retired teacher living in Australia, and I’m the publisher of GRFT.
I spent three decades teaching in primary schools and have, as well, taught Maths privately to around 500 high schoolers. Though my time in teaching has been enjoyable and rewarding, it’s become clear to me that the profession has become ever-more demanding. A teacher’s responsibilities and duties extend to our students and their parents, our superiors and colleagues, our families, loved ones and ourselves.

For teachers, made by a teacher…
They say that teaching is one of the noble professions, and we know it is.
But at the same time it’s a tough gig! Most would agree that there are times when the duties and level of care demanded of us can become overwhelming (with stress levels off the scale).
I was always on the look-out for resources that would help me in the classroom; things that would make my lessons flow nicely and would keep my students interested. And if an element of fun was included, that was a bonus!
To this end, in 1993, I began writing educational materials for teachers to use with their classes.
I wrote for publishers here in Australia (Perth, Sydney, Melbourne), New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong.
My books were subsequently published in the UK, Canada, and the USA.
In 2006, I started my own publishing company (Intelligent Australia Productions), and my published works now number 70.
In 2010, I created AUSTRALIAN TEACHER, an online platform where teachers may download my materials for classroom use.
The site, found here is nearing one million views (July 2023) with visitors from 210 countries.
GREAT RESOURCES for TEACHERS is pretty-much the global version of AUSTRALIAN TEACHER (with some minor changes).
Feel free to download any lessons, suggestions, or ideas that you think may be useful and make your job that little bit easier.
I admire all teachers for the work they do. It’s a challenging job.
Should you find something here that’ll make your life a little easier and more enjoyable do let me know.
Very best wishes,
Ron Shaw
