Breaking my tweet-drought for this festival of my favourites.

Nothing against Pedro Pascal, but I haven't watched much of his work.

So I present to you...

@JanelleMonae as liberation theology books:

God had better be real after all the hours over the years I’ve spent underlining ‘god’ and writing CL (capital letter) when marking.

OUCH

Hot off the press RIGHT NOW!

Here I am at #NCEC2022. Reflecting on change, ecclesiology, learning, art, wellbeing, mission, stewardship, dialogue and recontextualisation… and that was just Day 1!

I attended this gathering in July in my role as Company Member of LHC. It’s a life-giving privilege to be involved with such a visionary group of people and to witness the power of the Good Samaritan Benedictine charism at work in the students we serve.

Curriculum development:

It’s an ongoing conversation between professionals

It’s helpful to think of it as a craft

Crafting a curriculum is iterative

There will never be a sense of having ‘arrived’.

@GoodSamEd Our Year 9 RE classes at @mtstmichaels , studying the roles for which lay Catholics are anointed in Baptism, will engage with this excellent video in coming days. 😀

So apparently I’m so old now that sustained periods of marking (about 14 hours in the last week) cause multiple physical injuries.

@Lohlapalooza @ScottEacott @kphoekman @aitsl I think it is actually discriminatory as most teachers operating at a HA/LT standard who have, say, health issues or carer responsibilities (hello, three primary-school-aged children) must really struggle to complete - or even begin - the accreditation process.

[Ms Ellen Bow @MsEBow]

Teacher shortage is about workload distress and disrespect.
Just one small example: I’ve been marking Year 12 essays - cognitively demanding, with high stakes and accountability - at nights and on weekends for 3 weeks.
Does anything about that sound appealing or sustaining?

[Ms Ellen Bow @MsEBow]

It’s Catholic Education Week!

[Ms Ellen Bow @MsEBow]

So interesting. I thought there might even *just* be more ‘no religion’ than ‘Christian’ this round but not quite.
Looking forward to diving deeper into this data. @ABSStats #census2021

[Ms Ellen Bow @MsEBow]

5 hours and 40 minutes until @ABSStats Census drops.

Hard relate.

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."
