Let’s get a few things straight.

It’s not us.

It’s you.

Australia, and Australians, are really easy to get along with.

But we don’t take gaslighting well, at all.

Including attacks on Australia for fulfilling the most rudimentary duty to hold any country accountable to international law.

You, the perpetrator, are wholly responsible for the impacts of your crimes.

As a wanted war criminal leading a state alleged of genocide, the deliberate starvation of innocent children, found guilty of racial segregation and apartheid over many decades and of systematic attacks on the international legal system that we rely on.

Our obligations to the international court extend to not promoting or supporting genocide or the discriminatory practices of apartheid, in any way. This includes the refusal of entry to any official, individual or group guilty of incitement, or supportive of ethnic cleansing or apartheid. So says the International Court of Justice.

Whilst we are legally required to do more, Australians are, in fact, rightly taking pride in finally taking a stand against genocide, and apartheid.

The surest way to secure a visa to Australia, and our famously loyal and valued friendship as a country and people is not to perpetrate, support, fund or promote genocide, ethnic cleansing, deliberate starvation or apartheid.

Hope that helps.

School climate is created by the relationships of all members of the school community. But, it is the principal who sets the tone. It’s the principal who can positively advance culture and climate....and it’s the principal who can ruin it.

@jonnyjohnno @greg_ashman The best formative assessment processes often leave no written evidence; just a smarter decision by the teacher about what to do next...

One of the Indicators of a Strong School Culture is the Extent to Which Teachers Feel Ownership in the Entire School, Not Just their Classroom. #EssentialTruths @SteeleThoughts @ToddWhitaker

Mini whiteboards (MWB) are an absolute essential for all classrooms. Here’s why:

- All-student responses
- Immediate corrective feedback
- Gradual release tasks as a whole class
- Check for understanding & formative assessment
- Student self-editing
- Engagement norms

School culture is not about program implementations; it’s about people interactions.

@thomasmayo23 Thug's got no intention of building any nuclear power plants in Australia. He just wants to keep burning filthy coal for several more decades.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Surreal! Finally, after 52 years, I recently met my long lost pen friend in Sweden. As 13 year olds we began writing regularly, but lost contact 35 years ago. And to think we had parallel careers as teachers & principals during that time. A middle school visit was fascinating.

Talking in class is more important than we thought!

Research from Sedova & Sedlacek suggests cognitive engagement, but not taking part in the discussion deepens learning less than being chatty but not as engaged. Talking helps us make sense of learning!
