Congrats to Newington College teachers for imagining and planning new learning adventures for their students! Exciting times ahead.

@AGSAgirls @TheEducatorAU Congrats to MGG on this terrific achievement!!

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@Bell_AmandaA Thanks. And yes - there are going to be new opportunities for the self-starters with an entrepreneurial bent!

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@Bell_AmandaA @trentdriver Yes - but myopic fixation on standardised tests still the norm in Aussie households. Disappointment ahead!!

Educational well-being: not just academic success but a judicious mix of mandated and self-selected learning.

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@DeniceScala Always happy to talk to strong women leading future-oriented girls schools, Denice!

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@Bell_AmandaA @DeniceScala @trentdriver Educational well-being now involves much more than academic success

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@john_larkin thanks John. Teacher librarians are in the front line when it comes to high challenge student learning!

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@LoretoCollegeSA@elmcwilliam - big turnout - Loreto parents are in the thick of the learning action where all our parents need to be!!

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

Testing myopia makes for a high standard of standardness - we need the pleasure of the rigour, not rigor mortis!

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@richardcford Yes, our kids need more rigour from their classroom learning and less rigor mortis!

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@plu Thanks Martin - good teaching not about the teacher's age but about how young people experience the world differently.

@jcbjr @MichaelFullan1 I coined the term years ago. You'll see it in my book Creative Workforce as an active space beyond Sage and Guide

@JoachimCohen123 yes, thanks lots to ponder - need to get past both blind advocacy and moral panics - not easy but crucial.

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@Bell_AmandaA @DailyLifeAu Perhaps 'hire learning' will be the correct spelling after all!!

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@Bell_AmandaA @BGGS More than just a part of it - Amanda was both the inspiration for it and instigator of it!!

[Erica McWilliam @elmcwilliam]

@Bell_AmandaA @smh @JaneCaro Yes - the invitation to reach our full potential is one we should all feel free to refuse!
