Two years since this wonderful event

When COVID hit, we introduced free #preschool in NSW. Instead of letting it wind up in December, we're keeping it on.

It's all about helping mums and dads balance work and family, and giving kids the best start in life.

A good question can open minds, shift paradigms, and force the uncomfortable but transformational cognitive dissonance that can help create thinkers.

School attendance is a social justice issue. We need to hear more about child poverty prevention as part of our National discussion of the big issues in education. https://t.co/rFLuYMIN5F #auspol #education

While watching Ashleigh's talk on how to set up a classroom, I couldn't help but think about all the ways I will set up my classroom when I teach. Also, thank you Ashleigh for all your ideas for things to add in the environment. #acuedu_p

While completing Assessment 2 for EDFD436, it's crazy to see how far I have come in my professional practice and knowledge since my last prac. Can't wait for the next prac to implement my new learning. #acuedu_p

I can’t wait to include these formative assessment strategies, which can also include ICT, into my classroom! Credit to The Young Educator on Instagram #acuedu_p

[Naomi @Naomi20102456]

Whilst at my prac in yr 2 I discovered a self-assessment technique that allows students to assess their work with a visual reference. It is called a bump it up wall, it works in a series of levels with students having to place their name where they think they sit. #acuedu_p

[Patrick Senjak @PatrickSenjak]

Thank you Jamie for your presentation. I have learnt a lot about what you, as a principal, are looking for from us when we apply and begin our new careers as teacher. Thank you @Davo452 for giving us the chance to hear from people in the field. #acuedu_p

[Patrick Senjak @PatrickSenjak]

What a great way to promote thinking in children and to get them to focus on the positives. #acuedu_p

Here's to learners taking the lead!

One of T @moler3031's Ss introduced these language swaps to inspire fellow peers. How do you build a supportive classroom community?
