I have worked with @BruceFerrington for 8 years and have been waiting for this PL! Everything and more than I expected. Awesome! #inquirymaths #pyp #Radford

An engaging and inspiring PL presented by @BruceFerrington Maths in the PYP K-6. So fortunate to be learning from Bruce every day!

An enjoyable two days spent with @CmunroOz and @stringer_andrea understanding more about #theimpactcycle I have questions, and a few tensions, but also clarity about the next steps. Very grateful to have the support of @aisact Looking forward to the ride!

Dos and Don’ts of Classroom Decorations

"Although teachers have good intentions when decorating, many classrooms end up being “sensory-rich” in a way that “could hamper children’s learning gains rather than help." Pedro Rodrigues and Josefa Pandeirada

@carlamarschall @ProLearnInt Will do 👍

Help please PYPers...we’re looking to design a Sharing the Planet unit for upper primary focussing on ‘an inquiry into communities and the relationships within and between them’. Any samples would be gratefully received! #ibpyp #pypchat

[Nick Martin @MrNickMartin]

@PDin140orLESS Thanks Chad - I can think of plenty of global case studies that could be great in a unit with this focus - and would be interesting to look at rural vs urban communities within a country. Thanks for the ideas!

[Nick Martin @MrNickMartin]

We are looking to redesign two traditional classrooms at my school. We will take out the interior wall and are hoping to create a large, flexible space to support an inquiry pedagogy. What articles, books, blog posts etc should we read? #aussieED #learningspaces #ibpyp

[Nick Martin @MrNickMartin]

Listened to this podcast https://t.co/wErdJx9MCH Some pretty direct messages for schools. As an educator, and a parent, it has really made me think. I’m keen to hear the thoughts of others...

Thoroughly enjoyed my first holiday read. So many little nuggets of logic and common sense. I now can’t help analysing words and researching their origin! https://t.co/vuacTr86R5
