Primary English Teaching Association
For over 35 years the Primary English Teaching Association has been supporting educators in making informed decisions about the teaching and learning of literacy and language with a view to improving literacy outcomes of Australian children.  It offers a wealth of resources from practical, up to date publications to a comprehensive National Professional Learning program written and/or presented by some of Australia’s leading educational experts, authors and teachers who share ideas and strategies to use in the classroom.

In the last 2 years the association has published a number of books to assist teachers in developing the writing skills of their students:

Brain Storms! Superior stories for superior kids, 2006
Writing Better Stories, edited by Viv Nicholl-Hatton, 2006
Writing like a Writer by Libby Gleeson, 2007

CAL is an Australian rights management company whose role is to provide a bridge between creators and users of copyright material. CAL represents more than 11,000 authors, journalists, visual artists, surveyors, photographers and newspaper, magazine and book publishers as their non-exclusive agent to license the copying and communication of their works to organisations who copy and the general community.

A not-for-profit member-based organisation, CAL provides a legal and practical method for the public, business and government to copy and communicate published works by:

• licensing, or giving permission to, organisations and individuals to copy;

• collecting a licence fee; and

• distributing the licence fees to the copyright rightsholders.

Each year CAL's Board allocates up to 1% of all licence fee revenue collected to CAL's Cultural Fund. Since 1995 the Fund has provided over $6 million in support of a wide variety of projects that aim to enhance Australia's economic and creative climate, provide practical assistance to creators and benefit Australia's cultural community.
