How many of us as school leaders pay attention to how we deliver high impact and effective PL? A great resource to support effective PL can be found here: https://t.co/u74pPFgLbJ #playbookproject24 @BronRyrieJones @EducEndowFoundn

Looking forward to our final #playbookproject24 workshop with @BronRyrieJones. Our engagement in this series has and will shape our core instructional practices for some time to come!

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

It’s been great so far to hear from @BenCarrollMP , Jenny Donovan from @EdResearchAU and @kirstinferguson at the @VicGovDE @AcademyVIC Gov. Schools Principal Conference. Informative and provocative.

Great to be back working on our Instructional Playbook with @BronRyrieJones this morning. Deep diving into our Big Ideas and instructional techniques. #playbookproject24

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

It arrived!
Pretty thrilled to have my hands on this and am greatly looking forward to getting stuck in to it over the holiday break! I’ll let you know @shyambarr my thoughts when I’m done! Appreciate the message in the book you left too! 🙏🏻 #selfregulatedlearning @ambapress

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

It’s been a big morning of deep discussion curating and categorising our Big Ideas and Techniques with @BronRyrieJones as part of the #playbookproject24. This powerful and intense body of work is perfect for our school and shifting our practices from great to exceptional!

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

After this mornings Instructional Playbook session w/ @BronRyrieJones, we’ve (currently) decided that our BIG ideas will be… 1. Providing Explicit Teaching, 2. Promoting Active Participation, 3. Checking Understanding and 4. Provide Purposeful Feedback. #playbookoroject24

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

Our schools are absolutely full of wonderful teachers demonstrating wonderful practice - how do we capture this to affirm, teach, educate and highlight quality practice? @BronRyrieJones #playbookproject24

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

Do schools have their own version of an Instructional Playbook? If so, what are the big ideas that drive that body of work? #playbookproject24

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

There are 1001 big ideas that matter to us as school leaders and teachers to support our students. What FEW big ideas matter to you and your school setting? #playbookproject24

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

“Our job as school leaders is to create the conditions so that every teacher is getting better.” @BronRyrieJones #playbookproject24

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

Very excited and keen to be joining @BronRyrieJones for her #playbookproject24 this morning. This will be a huge body of work for our leadership team in shaping our core instructional practices.

@AEUfederal @sdinhamunimelb We needed a study for this? 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

As a Principal it has been refreshing and awaking to hear your ‘Teaching of Reading’ presentation today @EminaMcLean. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 👏🏻

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

@fairls @joboaler @chaoskeeper11 @youcubed We took a fair bit from it. When thinking about math exploration, rich tasks, accessibility, collaboration and engagement, it absolutely hit the mark.

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

First tweet in quite some time. Is it still called a tweet??? Anyway… Having a mathematical ball with @joboaler and @chaoskeeper11 at their @youcubed event today. The importance of the math mindset and the ways in which we teach math have never been more important.

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

Hope all Principals, and school leaders for that matter, had a great #principalsday2023 today! It’s a bloody tough gig at times but certainly worth it!

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

Perhaps instead of a tweet we go with a #variable! 😊 Thank you again for sharing your learnings and expertise today with @chaoskeeper11! A lot to take away and digest! Enjoy the rest of your time in Aus!

[Jo Boaler @joboaler]

Great question Corrie! what is it called in this solve for-x world?!

[Corrie Barclay @CorrieB]

@piersmorgan My friend thinks you’re a bellend.

Teachers and principals in public schools are underpaid and overworked. And every one of the schools they work in, whether they serve a wealthier population or a poorer one, is chronically underfunded."
