What an inspiration to spend two days working with @adam_voigt @RealSchools1 around restorative approaches to working with young people. If you haven't read Adam's book Restoring Teaching - you absolutely must! So inspired by the possibilities and 'Imagine if...' @gavhays

Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this session! Every time I talk to @MarkOConnor1976 I learn something.

Teachers can use the SPOT process to help students develop their strengths. It stands for: Strength observation; Progress over perfection; Opportunity to shine; and Teach, try, and tap into strengths. @SchoolPsychLife @DrKelsieReed @10publications

@paulamurphy07 Thank you, Paula! X

[Melinda Breakspear @minb74]

@teachnlearnMB Thanks so much, Mark. What a treat it was for me getting to work with you! Will hold dear getting the chance to see primary teachers in action. You are magic makers!

[Melinda Breakspear @minb74]

@mel_j_phillips Congratulations, Mel! How exciting!

[Melinda Breakspear @minb74]

@NickySloss @susansawyer01 @CforAH That is such sad news. What an enormous loss.

[Melinda Breakspear @minb74]

@mrskirbyrules1 @StLukesMP Absolutely brilliant!!!

[Melinda Breakspear @minb74]

@TheEducatorAU I think there is a lot of truth to this! When I think of the students I have tutored over the years it has been about building a positive relationship and then utilising this to build the student's confidence - you CAN do this!

[Melinda Breakspear @minb74]

@MRsalakas My personal fav this year has been @MarkOConnor1976’s The Energetic Teacher. Great to hear the voices of teachers sharing their insights on a range of important topics. I have learnt so much from each podcast!

Data-informed Approaches to Student Wellbeing Conference….“What wellbeing data do we need to improve academic outcomes for students? Look for micro moments of growth to celebrate success. You can track anything in wellbeing as long as it’s important to you!”

[Melinda Breakspear @minb74]

@KateTKelly @StLukesMP @shortcomp @JosephineCami11 @clarethorpey @CarmelCuneen Such a great way to build belonging and connection!

[Melinda Breakspear @minb74]

Such a great convo b/w @MarkOConnor1976 & @teachnlearnMB. Love the emphasis on having vulnerable conversations, that improvement looks different to different people and the importance of talking about practice.
