Teachers need MORE TIME to collaboratively design resources and learning experiences, which may be adapted from existing, published resources. However, just simply having a repository of resources is not enough. The planning time needs to come with it. https://t.co/BP2VWhhUQx
Brian was my first Principal in the Department as a targeted grad and saw potential in me before I’d even considered ever taking on any type of leadership role. He touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.
Vale Brian Debus OAM (1943-2022) The co-founder and former Executive Officer of the CCA passed away this week. 60yrs of staunch advocacy for Public Ed, Rural&Remote Ed, Social Justice and Indigenous Ed. has left its mark in NSW. @NSWSPC@nswppa@NSWEducation@AStevenson_DEL
Happy World Teachers’ Day! Our @NSWEducation teachers inspire, encourage and support students to reach their potential each and every day. Outstanding dedication and commitment to the students we serve right across the state #WTD2021
A little something for my NSW Education peeps who, thanks to the upgrade to Exchange Online, suddenly have a whole universe of Teams meeting possibilities open to them. I hope it helps.
Thank you @DrAdamFraser. The guy who gets in the trenches with us, truly listens, and contributes research based, real, tangible, on the ground support and successful strategies to enhance the wellbeing of Principals. #grateful
A real privilege to work alongside such a dedicated colleague focused on building authentic relationships with every member of her school community. You will be greatly missed Jayne Thompson.
Heart-felt acknowledgement around the room, for the outstanding career of Jayne Thompson. Finishing her time as principal of Charlestown Public School, her colleagues describe her as a role model of great integrity, who always puts the kids first. Congratulations, Jayne. @nswppa
Continuous school improvement is our core business. The system needs to support this with a clear line of sight to the changed behaviour we are looking for. This is big work but must be done through improved guidance and support @LeanneNixon@dizdarm@nswppa#ConnectED
Not all teachers desire to leave the classroom & move into admin! But, they may desire more leadership within the school. We need a model shift in education where great talent is not promoted away, but given more pay/responsibility in the school! Creating a dynamic school culture
Instead of counting down days to the end of the school year, what if we count down the days left to make a difference in someone's life? I love this book, Essential Truths for Teachers, by @ToddWhitaker and @SteeleThoughts! #plaea#edchat
