Thank you @NSWSLI for having three teacher leaders from #WestRydePS on set with you! It was an amazing day! We felt very comfortable talking about our leadership journey 🎥 @Pho_WRPS #schoolleadershipinstitute #SLIF #teachnsw

@Uber_Australia @Uber_Support Hi I need an email/phone contact for @UberEats support. Your online support system has replied the same thing three times to different issues. Seems like it’s computer generated and I need to speak to a person 🤞🏻

The stage 1 team are deeply engaged with the #new K-2 #English and #Maths #syllabus. How are you planning for #componentA in your literacy block?

Effective leaders understand that their responsibility to their staff is far more important than their authority.

It’s amazing what your parents still keep. Just ask and they will find it. This hanbok is 25 years old! #HarmonyDay #harmonyweek #nsweducation #HarmonyDay2022 #everyonebelongs #hanbok

Two squares. What’s the shaded area?

[James Tanton @jamestanton]

A white cube has its six faces painted pink, and then the cube is cut into 8 smaller cubes. The pieces are then shuffled and reassembled into a 2x2x2 cube in a purely random fashion. What are chances the 2x2x2 cube is all white?

Yesterday marked the “end” of our two year #PMSI PL w/ Dr @laurindalomas 🏁 What a ride 2020/21 has been for all the Maths Specialist. Here’s our group, beginning, middle and end 🤩

A BIG #thankyou to @AStevenson_DEL @Pho_WRPS @laurindalomas for supporting us on this journey!

Today more than 15,000 teachers met in Macquarie Street demanding #MoreThanThanks.

[Teachers Federation @TeachersFed]

What do we want? #MoreThanThanks. When do we want it? NOW!

@MrWithersAHT 24 on Year 1 🥳

We call someone leader not because they are in charge but because they have the courage to go first. To risk first. To trust first. First into the unknown.

Having #difficult #conversations is sometimes the hardest thing about #leading a #team when it’s human nature to want to win people’s approval and demonstrate attributes of a “good and #approachable boss”. Interesting read: https://t.co/VMw2wd5sgb

Entering Week 10 of Learning from Home and Week 12 of Sydney Lockdown. We can still find peace and joy 🌻

#LFH #proudteacher moment 📣Here are some of the answers students in #Year1 provided. This (along with other closed ended questions) was one way for teachers to #assess students understating of #numberpatterns. It is always so interesting to see how our students think! #mathschat

This is what happens when art meets physics and engineering. 😍

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

I remember a teacher telling me: “When you’re surrounded by superstars… it makes you want to be better than you are.” That’s the power of collaboration -- the power of positive peer pressure. The best teachers don’t just inspire their students; they inspire their colleagues.

[Murray Kitteringham @mkitteringham]

If ur focused on ‘stopping the kids cheating’ by use of elaborate ICT structures, I’d argue it’s more valuable use of time & Pedagogy to focus on the qns being asked. Give them the answers, open book. Focus on the ‘proof of solution’ & ‘application of knowledge’. Just saying…🤷🏼‍♂️

[Ellen Kim @ellenmkim]

I love this analogy! #teachertwitter #Leadership #LeadersChat #COVID19nsw #BeTheChange

[Brad Lewis @BradLewis200]

Leading a team now is like understanding the properties of a rubber band - not enough 'tension' and their purpose is 'lost' - pull too hard and they will snap - the magic happens when you know when to 'pull', when to 'let go' and when to just 'hold tight'

[Laurinda Lomas @laurindalomas]

Worlds tallest sandcastle in Denmark this week is a great realistic context to investigate! Notice & wonder to start imagining the mathematics needed. Make their own sandcastle to confirm/challenge these ideas & refine. Want to try this! @CFLM_math @ellenmkim @MissFlee_ @trdavo
