@twiggnet We’re launching into this space too Jonathan! Trial this term for further implementation later this year. ISV held a ‘Round Table’ last year with keynotes from other schools on this journey - well worth checking out for ideas and inspiration.

@NoPunIncluded I view your videos more because I trust you will provide a reasoned and thoughtful critique of the games your review - highlighting strengths and weaknesses, which help me make an informed decision. Please do not change this approach, or succumb to the hype train culture

@sue_sonego Impressive achievement Sue - solid process, lovely design, and lots of smart decisions along the way

When I find myself in tough conversations,
when I am being held accountable,
when I am called to unlearn, relearn, or just learn —
This is my mantra.

It’s been a game-changer.
Less armor. More learning.

From Tom Rath's (@TomCRath) upcoming book:

"Real growth is the product of following your contributions more than your passions. Simply asking 'What can I contribute?' leads to a better path and result than starting with yourself."

A depressing number of commentators on today’s PISA results talk about countries’ ranks rather than how well they did. Ranks are a really bad metric for seeing what is going on, and are even worse for looking at trends over time as the countries participating in PISA change.

More evidence that value-added estimates of the quality of individual teachers are mostly noise: teacher effects on student height are almost as large as their effects on academic achievement: https://t.co/BaUAqWBHh9

‘Can a leaf breathe?’ Rather than providing an answer, allowing students the opportunity to wrestle with concepts and test hypothesis in an inquiry approach #Rivercrestcc #vicpyptm
