@ms_golledge Hi Claire, thanks for sharing. We have developed similar plans for term 2. Big idea being you can not replicate school identically in an online context. Keep it simple and streamlined. Look after people. Foster independence.

@BiancaH80 Thank you! Greatly appreciate it!! I don’t think innovation is high on anyone’s priority in leadership at the moment! Thanks again!

[Eleisha Smyth @EleishaSmyth]

@BiancaH80 Hi Bianca, I’ve been following your PBL initiatives. I’d love to see what you guys have put together for your families! I’ve been off work these last 5 days and am walking into something which is a little daunting!

Purpose (I to we) mindset.
Connection (vulnerability as a strength) mindset.
Performance (best version of yourself and accepting things you can’t control) mindset.

Powerful quote Rachael - just like: if students aren’t learning the way we are teaching then we must change up our teaching practice as all students can learn...

Nothing else matters in teaching and learning as much as quality assessment; that is, data that informs and differenti- ates instruction for each learner in a never-ending cycle of inquiry to discover what works best (Sharratt, 2019) https://t.co/tMKivktFhu #ozed

Inquiry and #learningpower in Year 1. The children had to convince me that habitats matter for animals. They embraced the activity! @EleishaSmyth @ErinnFitzsimm13 @beckycarlzon @kjinquiry @Seesaw
