What a fabulous asset for classroom teachers: an accessible evidence-tracking tool: https://t.co/ADmpaWjVoY

Thanks @nsachdeva2019 and @JimHewittOISE 👏

I'll tell you what *no one* is talking about: teachers going to the toilet. Especially middle aged female teachers who might sometimes need to go outwith break times.

Looking at the NSW DoE’s Early Career Academy Plan, in particular the pictures of the new (or prospective) teaching grads. I realise the aim is attracting and supporting young adults to a longterm career but where are the older mid-career transition ITE student pics? 🤔

Go to this website!
This website's organization/arrangement, the ease of navigating it, along with the range of resources and their quality, will blow your mind.
I have never seen anything as well-organized and free.

Kudos to @ksirach! Well done.

This should be how we begin our conversations about school behaviour. It's not the entirety of the subject, but it's where we begin.

Support, consequences, responses, third spaces, incentives, disincentives etc all need to be framed within this idea: *children deserve a safe, calm space where they can learn in dignity*.

This is the Prime Directive of public education.

[Ms. Benison- @BenisonMrs]

I wish teaching was a profession in which we were allowed to take a year long sabbatical and read research, books, and attend conferences… that would be so invigorating.

Fact:

"Reading diagnostic tests should be administered by the person who will be designing and implementing the intervention.
A diagnostic assessment yields SO much more than a score, and if someone else is administering the assessment, the interventionist will be operating with incomplete information."
Dr. Holly Lane

As an interventionist, I can confirm this is true.

[Bronwyn Alexander @EducatorBron]

@edulorechris Yes, they approached it very differently. In addition, not much scope for nuance in the format.

[Bronwyn Alexander @EducatorBron]

Listening to the Maths instruction debate on the Matific live stream and Pamela Weber Harris just gave Toni Hatten-Roberts the most backhanded compliment in her closing statement I’ve ever heard in an academic discussion. Wow.

[Bronwyn Alexander @EducatorBron]

@Brad_Nguyen_ It’s on YouTube. 👀

[Heulwen Sweet @Skymazef3]

@Brad_Nguyen_ As a Languages Teacher it bugs me when things are only seen in terms of servitude to another subject. E.g finger spelling, great their English will be better

We had so much fun creating these Numberblocks coloring pages! Bringing numbers to life with bright smiles and playful scenes was an absolute delight—perfect for young learners exploring maths through creativity.

‘Discipline is only deemed a negative word in education’ - Manisha Gazula at #SBPSydney In business, sport, music etc, this is seen as a favourable pursuit.

Character limits on reports (and in general life) are the bane of my existence. Whether this is surprising or not is debatable.

[Bronwyn Alexander @EducatorBron]

In a stressful world, sometimes parents, students, or colleagues say hurtful things (whether intentional or not), useful to remember you are doing your best and not to take it personally.

[Justin Mecham @thejustinmecham]

No one can hurt you without your permission.

Words are just words.

Your response is what gives them meaning.

The secret to great leadership?

Communication.

Clarity in communication brings clarity in action.

It deepens trust and lays the foundation for success.

Really privileged to be featured in the latest @teachNSW Teacher Spotlight. Being a NSW public school teacher is the best job. You get to make a difference, no two days are the same and you are surrounded by the best people. https://t.co/kKHLnsErkb

[Daniel Buck, “Youngest Old Man in Ed Reform” @MrDanielBuck]

Sorry but one teacher cannot differentiate every lesson for 27 different kids whose reading level ranges from 1st to 11th and account for 6 different IEPS

The inclusion/no-tracking push is simply unworkable

[Teachers Federation @TeachersFed]

87.1% of New South Wales teachers say they don’t have adequate resources to meet the needs of students with disability. @AlboMP must fully fund public schools, to ensure every child is supported to succeed. #ForEveryChild #auspol
