A short tweet can't express how validated & heard teachers were today at the roundtable! Change is coming & it's using feedback from teachers. A robust discussion with planning for action. It won't happen overnight but change is coming teachers. I have faith!
@JasonClareMP
Excellent advice from an expert who knows what she is talking about having spent many hours in schools working with teachers - this is who Minister Clare should be listening to
When it comes to solving the teacher shortage, we need to look to rigorous evidence and pay attention to teachers' needs. Here are my thoughts in today's @canberratimes

Governments over the years have spent money on resources - when do they learn from past mistakes? Teachers need time to collaborate and plan. We need more teachers and they need less f2f teaching with more time each week for preparation and planning
We choose our teaching methods according to what our students need and where they need to go. We write our resources and lessons alongside those decisions. Fundamental to teaching is our work to make evidenced based pedagogical decisions. We need time. https://t.co/v9TLkABkpb
Remember when education wasnβt run as a business? No neoliberalism? When teachers were trusted and respected? When the head of the Education Department and senior officers were teachers? When we made educational decisions for educational reasons? Results were good then.
Neighbours memory lane - I taught in England in 1988 when Neighbours was big on TV in the UK - another teacher noticed that the kids wanted to talk to me on playground duty as they were trying to imitate my accent π
@jkblue@kath_cartwright@mattrix2000 @sleap_scott @meaganrodda Hi Jackie - Iβve sent an email with some thoughts and some articles. But this type of integrated curriculum work is hard and complex and no one in a high school is a curriculum expert in all of the STEM subjects. Working together to design learning that suits your sts is best
