Inside the AMALIMWC scholarship cosmos the Educational Writing Page is a special space or chamber of scholarship, narrative and innovative education writings. In this Special Space written word is utilised as instrument and as light to form, to shape and express ideas in written forms that enlighten, inspire, challenge and uplift human minds and souls in terms of present-day education. Written communication could therefore be transformed and be utilised as a means to transform and to improve human life and in this case education.
Educational writing at its best is a form of intellectual stewardship. The writer gathers together the insight and ideas, the experience and theory, the factual knowledge and cultural insight to create a coherent and meaningful story of educational experience. The Educational Writing Page honors this commitment to excellence by sharing rigorously conceived, carefully crafted and truthfully written works. They are more than simply accounts of events or the exposition of ideas; they probe, reveal, explore and offer insight to complex phenomena in educational experience and explore ways in which these may be addressed within classrooms and schools.
The Educational Writing Page forms the core of the innermost part of the website of AMA Educational Leadership and Innovation, and through it, the site achieves a wonderful balance and reaches harmony – each section relates to the others. As the site’s innermost chamber, this page sits in between the Reflections page and the Articles page. The writings presented on this page are creative stories of personal experiences which get linked to broader academic writings and study. A page of writings on education by an educator – of diverse cultures, backgrounds, a wealth of pedagogical experiences and a whole array of various schools – presents reflections on his or her rich experiences within and outside of the classrooms.
The Educational Writing Page on the AMALIMWC website is comprised of written works by an educator who travels through diverse cultural landscapes in his school and life. Schools, educational models and structures of modern schooling are changing in this globalizing world and the educator writes about his or her insights, creative ideas and reflections as he or she grapples to make sense and meaning of all these changes within and for his or her own unique educational context. Most of the time, the writings attempt to make sense of the emotional, intellectual and cultural intricacies of schooling and teaching in a rural/Indigenous context and how to lead in such schools and contexts in this era of rapid change and development.
Within the pages of the Educational Writing Section of the AMALIMWC website, one can expect to find written communication of the highest standard, imbued with utmost respect for the ideological premise of the organization. Most importantly, in the words of the title of the Educational Leadership and Innovation Section, ‘Aspire, Motivate, Achieve’. What is written must demonstrate an aspirational quality. With the deep-seated belief that writing is at its finest when used to celebrate the human experience through nuanced, insightful narratives, the author finds that best expression when heinous care is taken to select each word and sentence with supreme consideration, the punctuation vital to effectively develop the rhythmic flow of the creative masterpiece thus produced.
The Educational Writing Page on the AMALIMWC website also embodies the spirit of cultural praxis or practice, an application or translation of theory and knowledge into practice or real life circumstances. As the writer and author of this website is an educator, school leader, leader in his community and country, whose work is embedded in cultural competence, leadership, community work and related skills and knowledge, the works embedded in this page are also culturally embedded works that honor and re-present the voice, culture, history, and aspirations of the communities he serves and with whom he interacts on a regular basis.
The Educational Writing Page can serve to strengthen AMALIMWC’s website. Its reflections can complement the Founders Page by grounding a leadership vision of education within a more practical understanding of teaching and learning. Moreover, in articulating the ways in which aspects of one’s own education have impacted upon how one approaches teaching and learning, the personal reflections which form part of the Educational Writing Page can complement the more analytically-oriented written work contained in the Reflections Page. At the same time, its various pieces of written work can add greater depth and context to that found in the Articles Page.
At its heart, the Educational Writing Page is the literary heart or soul of the website. Written by an educator and author of AMALIMWC, the page provides a unique voice within the website to discuss and detail the Writer’s thoughts about various aspects of Education, learning, teaching and school life, shining a positive light on the mission and vision of AMA Educational Leadership and Innovation within which they work and also outlining the core values of Aspire, Motivate, Achieve that Ama Educational Leadership and Innovation stands for. That is to read and be inspired, challenged, and awakened to new ideas and actions to inspire personal, professional, and organizational growth and innovation.
This Page shall evolve within the AMALIMWC Website; continuously be replenished and deepened with thought and the exploits of my cerebral, artistic and scholarly making as an academic Writer. I aspire to aver that Academic Writing at the Educational Space pertains and constitutes a Scholarly Discipline that is singularly meant to serve a critical purpose in the ARMOR of a robust and evolving Education Mission, amongst diverse and unique cultures and settings globally.
Ultimately, as the final chamber of scholarship on the website of AMALIMWC, the Educational Writing Page positions education at the pinnacle of a human endeavor imbued with a plethora of intellectual theorems and to be developed school practices yet more entrenched is a rich tapestry of individual, community and societal stories of human curiosity, development, trial, error, learning and hope transcribed so as to reach and help inform and inspire other individuals. The pages of Educational Writing therefore serve to further more fully realize the holistic goals of this digitally based hub of scholarship by consiting of a body of reflections inspiring, reflecting on, exploring and sharing Aspirations, Motivations and Achievements in the practice of an increasingly globally-aware and -connected Educational Leadership and Innovation community everywhere.
