End the NAPLAN blame game and look for the positives instead https://t.co/PxZw0O6q8o

There is a much bigger problem with NAPLAN than a dip in writing results.Birmingham and ACARA are not on top of this https://t.co/NfRC6aXooH

I hope somebody mentions overprogramming today & its devastating effect on great teaching & learning that schools want to focus on. #NAPLAN

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

Having TWO decimal values in grades is bogus. Can anyone find ant research that says we can grade that accurately? #googleclassroom #grumpy

@r_nd_f__ld @chalkhands I've always thought that pushing people out is poor leadership, not good leadership. Shows a lack of capability for the most part, i think

focus on tests such as #NAPLAN and #PISA had done little for students but had been profitable for private companies https://t.co/RDjxqCNSG1

Increasingly I believe the great divide in education is not between trads & progs, but between those who run down others & those who don't.
