@AustLit ‘s Necessary Conversations is a trove of carefully selected resources to assist in exploring the *big topics*. I used this collection to support a discussion about the recent floods with year 6. #acu_p

[AustLit @AustLit]

New in Necessary Conversations: picture books, children's fiction, & YA on floods and storms, from AustLit, whose team works on the banks of Maiwar/the Brisbane River.
This will be the first in a series of Necessary Conversations on catastrophic climates.

The Abilities in Me are a series of books written by Gemma Keir. With a wide variety of topics, this series is a must for the classroom bookshelf. Great resource to prompt discussion. #acuedu_p

Some fun in stage 1 today! We started with an art study and brainstormed emotions that make us feel like screaming 😱 We created our own works of art and used them as creative writing prompts. Some very funny ‘whys’ behind the screams! #acuedu_p

A great place to build your classroom library 📚 for reconciliation week and beyond! #acuedu_p

Looking for your must-reads to add to the pile beside my bed! #acuedu_p

What should be recommended reading for all new teachers this next school year?

[AustLit @AustLit]

Coming soon to AustLit: a research dataset on bushfires, from Black Thursday to Black Summer, accompanied by a Necessary Conversation on bushfires in picture books, children's fiction, and YA (part of our ongoing Natural Disasters series in Necessary Conversations).

My friend Amy wrote about the teacher shortage. An honest and provoking read, particularly for those of us preparing to start our careers #acuedu_p https://t.co/xrLOGocCL3

My conception of authenticity in tasks & projects has two dimensions: 1) The task is authentic if students are being asked to apply knowledge and skills in ways in which people in the world beyond the school use those skills.

@AnnabelElise123 We use these every night to help my toddler regulate and get ready for bed! I hadn’t thought to bring them into the classroom, thanks Annabel!

[Lucy Buckmaster @blucy94]

@carlee_tonkin @Davo452 Sing me the summer by Jane Godwin & Alison Lester is a beautiful book, great for talking about the seasons and to use as a prompt for creative writing and visual art! It’s got a lovely melody that brings kids right back down to calm. #acuedu_p

I love this idea of the relationship centred classroom. Supportive, collaborative relationships with students and their communities are the key to equitable education 🔑

Education is not teacher centered or even student centered, but it is relationship centered. Teachers thrive w/ positive admin relationships & students thrive w/ positive teacher relationships. Relationships drive education.

[Jo Drummond @JoDrummond11]

Love this! Our students all have unique gifts. It is the role of the teacher to facilitate an environment where these gifts can be discovered and developed. #acuedu_p

“Contact languages need to be treated with respect and understanding, and not viewed as incorrect forms of Standard Australian English”

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Aboriginal English + Kriol aren't always recognised as the full languages they are. So many First Nations kids aren't treated as 2nd language learners.

This must change, to improve edu outcomes for kids who don't speak Standard Aus Eng @CurtinUni @UniMelb
