@VeerOffTrack I add those things to my to-do list after doing them, just so I can tick something off.

@DrGraySharp I missed this last year, I am so sorry for your loss.

This is what US taxpayers fund and what US members of Congress blindly defend.

This is a summary of the most important event currently happening on the planet. It is terrifying. It requires huge, immediate action by the world’s nations to drastically cut fossil fuel use. Not by 2060, not by 2050. Now. Please read it. https://t.co/cKWJm9awXt

I think it would be helpful if @EducationGovtNZ put out an alert to all schools regarding Tross Publishing, the racist contents of their works and the tactics they employ to try and get their books in schools.

Spreading the word about my new book with coauthor Gene Ouellette, Building Brain Words for Beginners.

Oh, and when I say ‘we’ in reference to 1977 I don’t really mean me. It’s based on my reading of publications dating back to then. I might be misrepresenting the exact state of knowledge and happy to acknowledge that.

[Alison Arrow @alliedorman]

I keep seeing the National Reading Panel (2000) being cited as evidence for ways to teach. It was published 23 years ago and our knowledge base has grown further since then. In comparison, in 1977 we barely knew what phonological awareness was and it’s relationship to reading.

[Alison Arrow @alliedorman]

Is our current knowledge too nuanced? Can it be synthesised more clearly? What is a more contemporary version of this? The 2020 series of articles put out by RRQ?

Some facts about the surgical prioritisation tool 🧵 First, the new prioritisation tool is actually the 2nd version and it’s a watered down version of the original. The original tool was brought in because of the need to prioritise elective (planned) surgeries during Covid. (1/8)

Honestly was not expecting this outcome tonight. The resident rugby player and full-on Cantabrian is very happy tonight.

We're looking for a new tumuaki principal for our reasonably large co-ed public high school in Christchurch. We are an inclusive school with lots going on and want an awesome leader to join us.

Absolutely horrific happenings at VUW - sad to see as an alumni and an academic. 'Tragic' blow for staff as Victoria University proposes cuts https://t.co/z3gvBUsOCh

Really, why wouldn't you want to live in Christchurch?

[University of Canterbury @UCNZ]

Why are more students choosing to study in Christchurch? @JackTame explores the city's popularity on @NewstalkZB.

Decoding "The Simple View of Reading" part III. https://t.co/Q9GnuJf81f I look forward to getting back to research that isn't nearly 40 years old. #scienceofreading

[Alison Arrow @alliedorman]

This is hilarious, but I suspect the satire may well be missed by many of the paper-based readers of this piece.

@NZStuff DAVE ARMSTRONG’S column is excellent…particularly the last three paragraphs. Touché Dave!
