@msemilymaclean Congratulations to you Emily!! I will miss you! Trinity Grammar staff were so lucky to have the opportunity to learn so much from you!

@adelebrice Especially since we as educators enjoy the path our students take us on when we listen to their responses and ideas. It enables the teachers to enjoy the process too, which overrides any trepidation we may have about changing our teaching styles & the uncertainty this can bring.

[Amy Jackson @JacksonaAmy]

@MarcWithersey @adelebrice It can be difficult for teachers to be flexible with their planning -when so many teachers thrive on being organised! If we can learn to trust our own professional knowledge & skills, student-led learning & inquiry can lead to growth & enthusiasm for learning,for students & staff

[Amy Jackson @JacksonaAmy]

@nicashgrove @adelebrice 100% agree. When we collaborate, the students benefit from the knowledge of more than one educator. The staff do too!

@ZeinaChalich @mat6453 @Doctor_Harves We could all definitely benefit from more time for self reflection. That’s a great point.

@BecSpink @adelebrice In the Library we use technology as a resource for students to explore their own reading interests, whilst at the same time teaching them important skills about search engines and research in order for them to learn how to find the information they need for their inquiry.

[Amy Jackson @JacksonaAmy]

@MarcWithersey I agree. Assessment and reporting
deadlines can often cause pressure for staff to direct the learning and outcomes, rather than providing opportunities for student directed outcomes.

[Amy Jackson @JacksonaAmy]

@PaulHamilton8 This is an interesting question! I am trying to imagine a classroom at my school where a teacher would behave in this way. The boys are so used to having a voice now. It would be disappointing to witness a classroom without student led discussions and inquiry.

@larubain I love that last line! Teachers are facilitators.

@adelebrice @BecSpink Amy Jackson. Teacher Librarian and Specialist Coordinator. Happy to be part of this chat Adele!

@WongaParkPS @adelebrice This lifted my spirits! What a great idea! The students will love to see that message from all the staff members.

@MagdaSzubanski @western_health @MetroNorthHHS @AmbulanceVic Thank you thank you!!

[Amy Jackson @JacksonaAmy]

@MagdaSzubanski Watching Kath and Kim - we always thought it was funny, but now we are laughing at nearly every line. We are a bit exhausted. You are all so talented, & so many shows have been influenced by you since. Brett in the netball skirt and Sharon weeping at every win may be my fave ep!

[Amy Jackson @JacksonaAmy]

@MagdaSzubanski This is great news. 😊

@CateMc3273 I loved reading this article. And I feel lucky to have heard you speak at the IBSC last year in QLD. I’m truly sorry to read about how difficult your past year has been.
