@lizlittlewrites Glad it went well Liz!

Our 2023 #studentleaders had their formation day today. We interrogated school culture data, completed team building activities and started on our Action Plan for 2023. Very excited to walk alongside these Assumption students in 2023! 🙌

Well done @jdtdobson on a great reflection on the Teaching Excellence Program for 2022. #GoEnglish 🙌

@DylanAlcott gave the inaugural graduates of the #TEP22 some important advice - be bold!

This @AcademyVIC #TEP22 English crew are awesome! So happy to have created so many relationships through this awesome program!

[Kendall Aglinskas @kaglinskas]

Very proud of this collaborative project exploring how to elevate the use of student evidence in writing. 🙌

@georgiabee93 Would love to have a discussion around engaging passive learners in the L&T space at ACK.

[Kendall Aglinskas @kaglinskas]

Excited to hear about ‘Engaging Passive Learners’ in this afternoons #TEP22 Graduation Conference. Especially post-COVID the division between active and passive learners has become so evident.

[Kendall Aglinskas @kaglinskas]

How do we encourage students to be courageous and give answers or suggestions to teacher questions, even if they might not be confident that their answer is correct? How do we give these students a voice and the confidence to join in the conversation?

@jdtdobson @emma_t_edu @wu_guanghua @mikeratkinson @macgirl19 @hayleydureau @BronRyrieJones The networking and collaboration opportunities with our master teachers, professionals and also our peers are what stands out for me the most. I’ve forged so many professional relationships that will continue on long past this year! 🙌

[Kendall Aglinskas @kaglinskas]

Nothing beats the feeling of the timetable rolling over and all students inputted correctly for our Headstart program that starts on Monday! It took awhile this afternoon but we got there. Bring on Monday and welcoming our students to 2023 @ACKilmore

[Kendall Aglinskas @kaglinskas]

We had our final @AcademyVIC #TEP learning community this afternoon. The best part of this program has been the connections I’ve developed and how invested we are in one another’s journey and growth 🥰

[Kendall Aglinskas @kaglinskas]

I’ve been leading Learning Walks for teaching staff @ACKilmore. Today we visited 5 classes that were all using worked examples. It was brilliant to see this across various domains - Food Technology, Health, English and Dance! Such a great tool for students to see ‘where to next’.

[Kendall Aglinskas @kaglinskas]

The best part of this gift from a couple of year 12 English students is the box lid - all their favourite quotes from the texts we have studied this year 🤓📚

[Kendall Aglinskas @kaglinskas]

@aj_cott @georgiabee93 love this visual! Definitely need to think about a whole school approach to reading and this could be a way in.

[Kendall Aglinskas @kaglinskas]

@georgiabee93 Until it cycles back around in 2030 😂

As I sit here marking essay after essay in prep for the 2022 #VCEEnglish exam, the light at the end of the tunnel is that after 5 years, Rear Window is off the text list so I look forward to reading more original and interesting ideas with a new text in 2023! @georgiabee93
